The WRITE A PLAY Program at Florida Studio Theatre is an in-school arts initiative, designed to inspire your students to be creative and to write plays. Hilarious and heartfelt, these poignant tales are a compilation of award-winning plays by young writers, just like your students, performed by a cast of professional actors. Past winners include everything from comedies like "The Adventures of Captain Captain" to dramas like "No War Can Tear Our Love Apart." These authentic stories contain lessons of life and purpose for us all.
Last year, over 55,000 youth participated in this dynamic award-winning program. This year FST received plays from over 4,000 young playwrights in the state of Florida and around the world for the Young Playwrights Festival, which takes place each spring culminating the program.
Florida Studio Theatre's WRITE A PLAY Program is currently celebrating 20 years of inspiring children from Kindergarten up through 12th Grade. The program offers students a three show subscription series for elementary schools in Sarasota and Manatee counties. It includes the Playmaker's Tour (in-class), Jack and the Enchanted Beanstalk at FST and UNDER SIX (selected plays by students) at FST. We also offer a three show tour subscription and secondary WRITE A PLAY in-class workshops throughout Florida and the Southeastern United States.
“An outstanding job of providing REAL integration of the arts with the classroom. Thank you for being my partner in education!”
