The Giving Coast

Florida Studio Theatre (FST) is proud to announce that it has received a $75,000 grant from The Shubert Foundation. The grant will be used for general operating support for FST’s 2023-2024 Season, which opened last month with the original music revue, Up on the Roof, and will run through mid-October 2024. This grant award marks a 25% increase from what the theatre received last year, demonstrating The Shubert Foundation’s committed support of FST’s efforts to produce high-quality theatre at an affordable price. This year, The Shubert Foundation awarded a record $37.9 million in grants to 635 non-profit arts organizations across the United States. The Foundation is dedicated to supporting professional theatre and dance companies, like FST, that develop and produce new work. New Play Development is the lifeblood of FST. Over the past few years, FST has strengthened its commitment to developing new plays, launching collaborations with playwrights like Bernardo Cubría and producing the World Premieres of plays the theatre was integral in helping develop. During the 2022-2023 Season, FST presented over 20 productions, two of which were Regional Premieres and eight of which were World Premieres.
