Florida Studio Theatre (FST) is pleased to announce that it will extend its FST School scholarship program, providing full and partial scholarships to front line workers (police, firefighters, EMTs, and hospital workers) and their families. Now, as local schools reopen, FST is adding teachers and their families to the list of those who qualify for these special FST School scholarships. A brand new theatre school session for students ages 7-17 kicks off the week of August 31, and classes for students age 18+ begin the week of September 28. Those interested and who qualify are invited to call FST’s Education Office at 941-366-1350 for eligibility. “It is important that we continue to offer scholarships to front line workers and their families,” said Josh Ford, FST’s Director of Education. “These are people who are making sacrifices and taking risks in a very real and concrete manner to better our community."
