MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. — Pop goes the music … and more! Emerald Coast Theatre Company is searing some sizzle into summer 2021 with a hot new live entertainment series.
Summer Pop is a series of four different fun-filled entertainment events — ranging from alternative pop/rock, comedy, Broadway, Rat Pack-era tunes and even a little opera. The series will run on Fridays and Saturdays throughout June and July at ECTC’s performance space located at 560 Grand Boulevard, upstairs, in the Grand Boulevard Town Center in Miramar Beach.
“We are thrilled to bring this fun summertime music celebration to our community and are grateful that it will benefit our education programs,” said ECTC co-founder and producing artistic director Nathanael Fisher.
“Each musical event will be a great evening out, so we invite everyone to come to one, or enjoy them all.”
The Summer Pop Fundraiser Series lineup is as follows:
- Friday, June 4 – Hot-Work– A Coldplay Cover Band performing alternative rock/pop hits.
- Friday, June 18 – Comedy Night! – Enjoy side-splitting comedy by a stellar line-up of regional comedians during an evening hosted by Northwest Florida’s funniest, Jason Hedden. The evening features comedian/actor/singer Jenn Weeks with a hilarious headline act by “blue-collar dad” Nathan Wallace— a Top 100 World Series of Comedy.
- Saturday, July 17 – Jordan and Michelle’s “Back to Broadway” show – a fun-filled, high-energy tribute to the Broadway music of today and yesterday.
- Saturday, July 24 – Frank & Friends with Peter Lake – Enjoy tunes from Frank Sinatra, Giacomo Puccini, Andrew Lloyd Webber and many more favorites.
Come on out and enjoy a glass of wine or beer while being entertained by top talent in a relaxed, lounge atmosphere.
