Florida Studio Theatre (FST) is pleased to announce that it will present an online improv festival the same weekend its annual Sarasota Improv Festival was slated to take place: Friday, July 10 through Sunday, July 12. Held completely online, this Festival features workshops, shows, and interviews with established improvisers from around the world, including Joe Bill (a founding member of Chicago’s Annoyance Theater), Craig Cackowski (Quartet, Orange Tuxedo), and Gael Perry (French improv troupe, La Carpe Haute).

“During this time of year, FST would be putting the final touches on our annual comedic extravaganza, the Sarasota Improv Festival,” said Will Luera, FST’s Director of Improvisation. “Due to COVID-19, we had to cancel this destination event. Though it can’t go on in its usual whirlwind Festival form, we’ve decided to virtually celebrate and recognize the event that has brought some of the best improv comedians in the world to Sarasota.”

Shows and interviews can be accessed for free on the Sarasota Improv Festival’s Facebook page. Workshops will be conducted over Zoom and cost $30 each.
