Emerald Coast Theatre Company has launched its 2015 summer theater camps, presented with support from the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation.

This summer’s third annual summer camp series includes three exciting programs: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe; Camp Broadway; and Disney’s “Peter Pan Jr.” Musical Theater Camp. 

“Inviting kids from all across the Emerald Coast to come dance, sing and ‘act out’ with us is at the heart of what the Emerald Coast Theater Company is all about,” said the company’s producing artistic director Nathanael Fisher. “We are thrilled to be able to once again partner with many of the area’s finest art organizations, including our presenting partner, the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation, to present a solid art education program that not only hones skills and builds confidence, but is also just loads of fun.”
