Florida Studio Theatre (FST) announces its 2021 Winter Play Reading Series, presenting online readings of five new plays in progress written by some of the country’s top playwrights. Starting January 29, FST audiences will get a first look at a wide range of plays currently in development at FST—from a drama exploring American identity to a modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s As You Like It. These online readings are available for a suggested $10 donation to attend each event. All donations will go to support FST’s Playwright Collective, a select group of artists dedicated to developing new work for FST’s stages. “Since we ‘pressed pause’ on live productions at FST last March, we’ve really focused our time and resources into our New Play Development program,” said Catherine Randazzo, FST Associate Artist. “After months of development, these plays are now ready to be shared with our audience, who often help playwrights see their work in a new light. The plays featured in our Winter Reading Series explore themes that impact the world we live in—love, loss, personal and collective responsibility, and American identity, both in the past and the present.”
