Florida Studio Theatre (FST) announces that, starting the week of June 8, its Summer Theatre Camps for students ages 7-17 will be held in person on its downtown Sarasota campus. Led by professional theatre artists, FST’s Summer Camps give young people the opportunity to nurture their own creativity, build self-esteem, and gain emotional awareness. Each in-person camp will take place over the course of three weeks. A full list of FST’s live Summer Camps is below. Scholarships are available. 

“We are thrilled to welcome young people back to our campus,” said Kate Alexander, FST’s Associate Director At-Large. “As Founder of the Florida Studio Theatre School, I know the importance of live theatre training. Looking at the canvas of your emotions and finding expression in the arts, in your writing, or in a beautiful monologue is the pinnacle of self-expression. We are more than just beings who live by survival—we are creative beings. Exploring and reaching our potential is the goal of Florida Studio Theatre, now more than ever.”

This summer, FST will offer two in-person camp experiences—Children’s Performing Arts Camp for students ages 7-12, and Teen Performing Arts Camp for students ages 13-17. Both camps will run multiple sessions throughout the summer. FST’s Children’s Performing Arts Camp is the theatre’s most popular summer program for youth and has been running for over 35 years. Students who attend this camp explore their own creativity through movement, improv, and acting. Professional artists collaborate with students to build honest, exciting, and expressive works of theatre.

Rigorous care will be taken to ensure students’ safety by fully complying with CDC guidelines specifically laid out for Summer Camps on May 19. The theatre will take additional measures, such as reducing camp capacity and limiting the number of people in each studio space to no more than 13 people, to further protect students’ health and safety.
