Mission

Florida studio theatre holds the following mission: to make theatre affordable and accessible to as many people as possible; to present theatre that challenges with as much gusto as it entertains; to create a public forum for the issues of our day that will foster positive change in our community and beyond; to operate within and for the public trust.

Programs

2 programs

Cabaret concessions: fst cabaret was established to develop new audiences who might not otherwise participate in theatrical events. Offering restaurant and beverage service, the cabaret provides a relaxed, inviting atmosphere for people who are new to the performing arts. Its warm, welcoming space reduces social barriers to theatre and encourages communication and intimacy.

Expenses: $1.5M

Education and touring: the write a play touring program impacts students in grades k-12, with a special emphasis on underserved youth throughout florida. During the course of a school year, fst's tours inspire 47,000 children and teens to write their own original plays through the write a play arts in education initiative each year. Fst's education program offers children and adults a wealth of opportunities to discover their creativity. Classes are offered each week to students aged 5-95 in theatre, dance and music. Accessibility is ensured through programming for financially disadvantaged, physically and mentally challenged youth and adulsts. Fst's "children's scholarship program" provides about 15% of youth with full or partial tuition waivers, and adult work/scholarships in which prices are reduced in exchange for volunteer hours with the theatre, and are available to those with a need.
