A Florida native, Nathanael received his B.A. Click here to donate to the Pensacola Little Theatre.Nathanael Fisher is the cofounder of Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC). Pensacola Little Theatre (PLT) has shared that mission of telling your stories and the stories of our community since 1936. As the oldest, continually-operating theatre in the Southeast, PLT will keep on telling those stories for everyone in the community, just like we have since 1936. Until then, we are offering limited capacities and streaming options for our in-person performances over the next year. We’re all in it and experiencing this moment – this story – together. Everything that happens on stage is far more exhilarating than what happens on screen – for the actors, for you, for your neighbor. In a film, actors can’t respond to an audience’s laughter they can’t feel the tension or anticipation by those in the front row. It’s all-consuming – the sets, the costumes, the lighting, the orchestra, the inability of perfection because it’s not recorded or in a studio. There is something truly magical about the way live performances draw you in and make you feel part of the story as it unfolds in front of you. All other options pale in comparison to how live theatre transports you to another place and time. So remember that when life gets back to “normal” and screens, Zooms, and virtual lives are the exception rather than the rule. They have kept your families entertained, enriched, and hey – let’s call that spade a spade – oftentimes even just distracted. Sure, we look different in a COVID world, but whether you are a mother who is able to be home with her children throughout the day or the mom who moves and shakes and shuffles just as much as her five-year-old – we can all agree that the arts have been the unsung heroes during pandemic times. We nurture discipline and perfecting a practice, to oftentimes then preach that done is pretty and satisfactory as the curtain rises. We give those kids a voice.īecause that’s what theatre is – giving a voice to the voiceless creating a means of expression when words don’t quite do the trick. We teach children how to act so that they can put themselves in someone else’s shoes and understand a differing viewpoint. PLT classes instill foundational skills like self-confidence and public speaking. You see, through our arts education classes, we don’t breed performers we help children stand up a little taller or speak a little louder. We love it!Īnd even if Suzie and Daniel go on to be teachers or doctors or writers or athletes or parents that never step foot on another stage, we help prepare them for that, too. Oh, that little Daniel there is MEANT for the stage. Sure, your little Suzie has a voice that’s made for Broadway. The whole “something for everyone” spiel is tried and true within the walls of the Cultural Center.Īs thespians, we know that stories don’t get told without a voice, and we are happy to give you and/or your little ones all of the tools they need to gain that voice. From our children’s series (Acorn), our family-friendly series (Treehouse), our classic adult plays and musicals (Mainstage), to our downright dirty and thought-provoking mature series (Studio 400) – we tell it all. Today, the Pensacola Cultural Center houses Ballet Pensacola, Liberty Church, the West Florida Literary Federation, EntreCon, Pensacon, the Stamped LGBTQ Film Festival, the local Human Trafficking Task Force performances, and so many other civic and cultural organizations throughout the community – because as the community grows, so does the need to tell each of our stories.Īt PLT, we tell big stories for more than just little people.
