Fast-talking detectives. Dangerous dames. A priceless statue everyone’s willing to kill for.

Experience The Maltese Falcon as audiences did in the golden age of radio—performed live with actors at the microphone, musicians creating mood and menace in real time, and sound effects crafted before your eyes.

This immersive theatre-in-the-round production on Thursday, March 26 at 6 p.m. at the Museum of Commerce pulls back the curtain on radio storytelling, inviting the audience to see—and hear—how suspense was built using nothing but voices, music, and imagination.

Mark your calendars now for what will surely be an interesting and informative talk about the Florida black bear, presented by David Jacob, with FWCC.
As northwest Florida grows, encounters with black bears occur more and more. It's important to learn all we can about these amazing animals in order to better understand how to co-exist with them
Mr. Jacob has worked with the FWCC as the West Panhandle Area Bear Biologist for four years.
He has an undergraduate degree in zoology and a master's in environmental management from Duke University.
Prior to working with bears, he worked with several other species including iguanas, sea turtles, and wolves.
When not working he likes going to the beach, snowboarding, and traveling.

Now and Then – March 26th thru 29th
A romantic comedic play about the desire to follow your dreams and the cost of that pursuit. What would you do if you were given the chance to go back and make a decision that would forever change your future? That's the choice Jamie and Abby must face one fateful evening. "It's now or never."

Double your impact for local wildlife this March. 🦉🍀 Every gift helps rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured and orphaned animals along the Emerald Coast! Last year in 2025, we treated 1,566 wildlife patients at no cost to their rescuers! Your donation helps directly fund the medications, vet visits, food, and cleaning supplies we need to rehabilitate and raise wildlife. From specially made wildlife formulas to surgical operations, there is always a patient in need here at ECWR that you can help make a difference for!
During our "Double the Luck - Matching March" Fundraiser, your gift is matched dollar for dollar, helping more pelicans, owls, opossums, and other native neighbors return safely to the wild than ever before. This is one of our most ambitious fundraisers, and matching offers like this don't happen very often! We want to take full advantage of this donor's generosity, and try to raise $50k that will be DOUBLED to $100k!
What does our organization plan to do with these funds? Our main priority this year is updating and expanding our outdoor patient enclosures. These enclosures (which we call "Multispecies Enclosures") are made to safely contain a variety of commonly treated species such as raccoons, opossums, foxes, and fawns. These enclosures must be spacious, as they not only provide a comfortable resting area for recovering patients, but also serve as our "Boot Camp" enclosures for orphaned wildlife. As these animals have grown up in our hospital and not in the wild, we try to utilize our Multispecies enclosures to introduce them to local weather events, food foraging, social behaviors, and to allow them time to build their strength and skills before release. We plan to use these donations to begin building a second Multispecies area from the ground up, demolish our well used original habitats, and then build a SECOND Multispecies habitat area. At times, we receive so many orphaned wildlife patients in the Spring, we cannot possibly fit them all outside, leading them to spend longer indoors than we prefer as it puts them at risk of heightened human interest post release. So, please help us keep them wild today by Doubling our Luck!!
