Emerald Coast Theatre Company has reopened its doors for Summer Camp 2020.

In addition to the online Summer Camp programs now underway, ECTC has released its schedule for in-person, on-site classes, workshops and lessons, designed for various age groups,ranging from preschool through 12th grade. Tuition ranges from $40 to $395 per student depending on the program. Sibling, military and multiple camp discounts are provided; payment plans and scholarships available for group camps/classes.The more camps you register for, the more you save on tuition.

“We have had a ball with our innovative online offerings this spring, but we are thrilled to be able to reconnect with our parents and theater-loving kids for the 2020 Summer Camp season,” said ECTC co-founder and producing artistic director Nathanael Fisher. “The safety and well-being of everyone in our ECTC tribe always comes first, so we are carefully activating our Safety Protocol plan in accordance with CDC guidelines.”

ECTC programs will be held at its performance space located at 560 Grand Boulevard in Grand Boulevard at Sandestin in Miramar Beach. Additional off-site locations are Florida Chautauqua Theatre, located at 840 Baldwin Ave. in DeFuniak Springs and Gulf Coast State College, located at 5230 US-98, Panama City.

This year’s guest instructor is Peter Lake. Lake is an international opera and musical theatre performer currently working on finishing his doctorate in vocal performance and pedagogy. Lake welcomes students of all levels of vocal experience and tailors his lessons and style of teaching to the individual needs and goals of each student. Lake works from the basis that everyone is capable of learning and thus his method works to instill intuitive muscle coordination and mental concentration to produce a technique that will feel natural to the singer. His ultimate goal in teaching singing is to help the singer communicate, to use technical training to allow the singer to reach their own goals, and to develop a strong love for music as one of the great joys in life.

Here is a snapshot of this summer’s camp schedule. For the full schedule, including Advanced Classes and Workshops visit: www.emeraldcoasttheatre.org or call
