2024 Grit and Grace Performance

 July 19-21, 2024 with Encore Performance July 26th  
Florida Chautauqua Theatre, DeFuniak Springs, Florida

 Grit & Grace, Inc., is more than a production...it's an, experience! We collect stories and legends about the people of Walton County. We secure a playwright to put the stories together, hire a director to direct the show, then audition local actors, singers, and musicians to help bring the stories to life; always keeping in mind that these are true stories about real people... family, friends, neighbors... passed down from generation to generation. Some of the stories may be sad or tragic, some serious, and some humorous. In preparing for each production we gather interested musicians who volunteer to play in the production and/or write the original music.
