Stories from the Stage

Join us as VIE Book Club host / VIE magazine editor, Jordan Staggs, spoke with Nathanael and Anna Fisher, the co-Founders of Emerald Coast Theatre Company, to talk about their journey of bringing theatre and arts education to Northwest Florida.

From their backgrounds in performance, directing, and theatre education to launching ECTC in 2012, the Fishers share the vision, challenges, and passion that have shaped one of the Emerald Coast’s leading cultural organizations. We discuss how theatre can strengthen communities and create meaningful connections across generations.

We also take a behind-the-scenes look at ECTC’s exciting productions, from beloved Broadway musicals and contemporary plays to family-friendly shows. Discover what goes into producing high-quality live theatre, how the company selects its season, and why live performance continues to connect people in a digital world. Whether you're a longtime theatre lover, a supporter of the arts, or simply curious about the people creating unforgettable experiences on stage, this conversation offers an inspiring look at the power of storytelling.
