FST Extends Live Entertainment Series in Green Room Cafe & Bar

Coconut Telegraph

Florida Studio Theatre (FST) announces that, due to audience demand, it is extending its outdoor dining entertainment series, now running Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings each week. FST first opened the veranda of its Green Room Café & Bar for outside dining with live musical entertainment on select evenings the second weekend of May. With that announcement, dining reservations for the times featuring musical sets sold out in 48 hours.

Featured musical artists have included FST Cabaret artist Alayna Gallo (Light My Fire, The Wonder Years) and FST’s Resident Pianist Jim Prosser. Patrons have raved about the new series, saying, “This is incredible!” “We’ve missed you, FST,” and “This is nice…it is about as safe as you can get outside your own home.”

“It is a real pleasure to see and hear two of FST’s favorite performers practicing their musical stylings again,” said Richard Hopkins, FST’s Producing Artistic Director. “Jim Prosser and Alayna Gallo are a perfect pair for dining entertainment, and are helping make the Green Room veranda and sidewalk a relaxed and inviting location for this time of year.”​

Originally planned to only run on Friday and Saturday the weekends of May 9 and May 16, FST will now extend the series to run every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night into June. A $3 per-person cover charge will also be added when making reservations taking place during entertainment hours. There will be two seating times each evening—the first at 5:15PM, the second at 7:30PM.
