Gulfshore Playhouse educating folks while also entertaining them

Coury said that she is “pleased to have grown to a seven-show season of professional theatre spanning October to May.” But she’s proudest of what Gulfshore Playhouse Education provides in the way of after-school acting classes and summer camps for students through its STAR Academy, which stands for Student Theatre Artists in Residence. It includes full-scale productions of well-known tales and theatre classes taught by professionals.
“Many of our student attendees each summer are at-risk and disadvantaged children who’ve received a scholarship through our own scholarship fund. They are given an opportunity to learn focus, teamwork, expression and self-confidence along with their peers,” Coury said.
