Summer Camp
Summer is a joyous and invigorating time at Florida Studio Theatre. For over 35 years, FST’s Summer Theatre Camp has been welcoming young artists to our downtown campus to discover, create, and connect through the art of live theatre.
Led by our staff of Resident Teaching Artists, FST’s Summer Theatre Camp provides spirited guidance, helping each child connect with their own innate creativity.
The theatre is more than just an outlet for creative expression – theatrical training fosters important life skills, increasing self-confidence, cultivating empathy, strengthening collaboration, and broadening an individual’s world view.
The core of our teaching is based on the Stanislavski Method, a professional acting technique used around the world, designed to create believable characters on stage. Through theatrical games and activities, students will move beyond rote memorization to discover greater emotional awareness and generate truth on stage.
Whether your interest is to encourage personal creativity and confidence or pursue serious theatrical training, we invite you to discover your child’s artistic home with Florida Studio Theatre
Ages 7-12
My daughter loves coming to FST. She likes to teach us all the acting games she learned in class. She is always so excited to tell us about all the fun she had.
