FLORIDA STUDIO THEATRE (FST) IS SARASOTA’S CONTEMPORARY THEATRE. Founded in 1973, FST has grown to a village of five theatres. FST is the largest subscription theatre in the state and among the largest in the country, serving more than 230,000 live event attendees each year across its diverse programs. Hip and historical, entertaining and challenging, we are the theatre where everyone is welcome to engage in the art. It is FST’s mission to make theatre accessible and affordable to as many people as possible. In keeping with this mission, FST is committed to keeping our prices low, so that everyone, from all backgrounds and walks of life, can experience high quality, professional theatre. In addition, FST makes theatre accessible through its Scholarship Program, covering enrollment costs for 15% of FST School students every year. Here’s one parent’s story: “We were actually paying for FST theatre classes and then the pandemic hit and I couldn’t afford it anymore,” said Clau C. “I felt so bad that I could no longer provide these classes for my daughter. Then FST called me and offered her a full scholarship. It was such a blessing.” Please consider making a gift to FST this holiday season so we can touch even more hearts through the art of theatre.
