With every performance of A Christmas Carol, every note of “O Holy Night,” and every glimpse of twinkling lights, we feel the “Bah Humbug” blues of 2020 dissipate a little further into ghosts of Christmas past. That same joy and wonder we long to feel each Christmas season is still there, in the eyes of our children and grandchildren, and in the sips of warm cocoa that we spike with a little hot toddy for the chill. We’re so glad that you’ve decided to embrace all that this season has to offer and join us for this reimagined holiday classic. Your “Bah Humbug” blues might just be banished for good by the end of the show. We’ve also got some great shows to warm your heart in the less than temperate months of January and February. Florida Girls is the hilarious story of one woman growing up in the Florida Panhandle in the 1960s and on through the years. Whether you’re a new local, a seasoned native, or a visitor seeking warmer climes, this show will give you a textured look into the small town joys and challenges of growing up in Crestview, Florida. Popcorn Falls is another heartwarming comedy about a small town that features our very own Producing Artistic Director Nathanael Fisher and local favorite and ECTC Board President, Jason Hedden. This small town comedy is good for quite a few big laughs. You won’t want to miss these two funny guys playing a myriad of characters while trying to save Popcorn Falls! Our popular Storyteller Series is back as well, featuring Bruce Collier with an all new World Premiere, Shirley Simpson as Katherine Hepburn, and Alan Tuttle in Give ‘Em Hell Harry. Each of these unique shows has limited performances and availability, so book your tickets soon! Finally, if you haven’t attended a cabaret in our comfy new Second Stage, what are you waiting for? We have the distinct honor of showcasing some of the finest talent in our region right here on our cabaret stage, hosted by none other than the wildly entertaining Vincent Pelligrino. You may remember him as the funny best friend with an overactive imagination in First Date. Watch for some great live music in the Listening Lounge Series on the Second Stage as well! This winter season may bring a chill, but we’re keeping the fires burning here at ECTC. We’re so glad you’ve come out to celebrate life and all of its joys, sorrows, and triumphs with us. Thank you for your continued support. From volunteers and sponsors, to ECTC parents and kids, we love our tribe, and we are thankful for you.
