Support Us
Florida Studio Theatre is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, founded by an artist and led by artists, with actors, designers and writers in key leadership positions. We operate under the belief that focusing on the artist creates a bond that extends beyond the fourth wall, out into the audience, and into the community beyond. FST produces theatre of intimacy on a grand scale: serving the largest subscriber base of any theatre its size in the nation, and reaching over 200,000 attendees - one person at a time. Like all nonprofit institutions, we rely on generous contributions from our community to bridge the gap between ticket revenues and actual operating costs. Donors are a critical part of FST's artistic team, ensuring that we can continue to make Sarasota a great place to raise children, and an even better place to raise adults.
