Florida Studio Theatre and Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall Partner to Provide Free Theatre Enrichment for Sarasota and Manatee Students

The Giving Coast

Florida Studio Theatre and the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall are joining forces to provide virtual theatrical offerings, entirely free of charge, to Sarasota and Manatee County schools, extending as far as Charlotte and Desoto Counties. Typically, thousands of children travel with their classes to these arts venues every year to experience the magic of live theatre. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, FST and the Van Wezel are teaming up to continue to inspire young audiences through the arts with new virtual programming.“In a time where so much has changed for children and gathering in large groups at the theatre isn’t possible, we want to offer a little bit of normalcy to teachers and students,” said Caroline Kaiser, FST’s Director of Children’s Theatre. “We hope that these virtual ‘field trips’ will give students an opportunity to see, laugh, and connect with new stories. We want to spark creativity, stir students’ imaginations, and foster more arts-integrated learning in the classroom.”
