Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC) is ready to lift your spirits this holiday season.
ECTC continues its eighth annual season on the Northwest Florida Gulf Coast in December with both classic and new holiday entertainment.

In this thrilling adaptation by Patrick Barlow five actors bring to life some of Dickens’ most beloved characters. From Scrooge and Tiny Tim to Bob Cratchit and Mrs. Fezziwig, Barlow’s A Christmas Carol uses simple props, fresh physicality and the power of imagination to convey this timeless story of redemption. Witness Ebenezer Scrooge’s transformation from a stingy miser to a man who generously celebrates the spirit of the season all year long, in this highly theatrical adaptation.
