Florida Studio Theatre (FST) proudly announces the extension of its Regional Premiere production of Network, a fast-paced play based on the Academy Award-winning screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky. Adapted for the stage by Lee Hall, Network follows the downward spiral of Howard Beale, a longtime news anchor who is being let go due to poor ratings. Critics call the production “Gripping” (Sarasota Herald-Tribune) and “Chilling” (Sarasota Magazine). Due to audience demand, Network is being held over and will now run through March 26, 2023, in FST’s Gompertz Theatre. Single tickets range from $25-39 and are now on sale at FloridaStudioTheatre.org or at 941.366.9000.
