ABOUT US

The Greater Escambia Council for the Arts is the premier performing arts organization in Escambia County.  With a rich history of artistic excellence, we are dedicated to fostering creativity, supporting local talent, and enriching the cultural landscape of our community and surrounding areas.  Whether you are a longtime patron, or a first-time visitor, we invite you to come join us!

 

Founded in 2000, GECA has performed plays and musicals throughout Escambia County for many years, performing in local theaters and community centers before acquiring the Bateson Furniture Company building in 2009. Since then, GECA has called this building home and has continued to be a beacon of the arts in Atmore. More recently, GECA began partnering with the newly renovated Strand Theater and began utilizing its space for performances as well.

 

Thespians from all walks of life and experience can find a place for themselves at GECA. Whether it's onstage, behind the scenes, or front of house, there's a place for you at The Greater Escambia Council for the Arts.
