This year's Annual Shindig, Oh, What A Night!, is inspired by our upcoming spring musical, Jersey Boys.

The Annual Shindig recognizes and celebrates FST, as well as the incredible Sarasota community. A key part of this effort is the annual presentation of the Spelman Award, an honor given to a foundation or an individual who has demonstrated extraordinary leadership through mentorship, service, and/or philanthropic support. Without the support of people like our Spelman Award recipients, FST could not offer affordable and accessible programming to hundreds of thousands of attendees every year. 

Festivities kick off at 5:30pm with a lively cocktail reception. Guests will then gather in FST’s Gompertz Theatre for exclusive live performances by FST’s beloved artists, showcasing the talent and energy that make FST a true hub of creativity. The evening will culminate with a seated dinner catered by Michael’s On East.

Individual tickets are available at $350 per person.
