The Plays The Thing serves as FST's annual fundraiser and proceeds support all the theatre does throughout the year. This season's event will be a celebration of the vibrant organization that FST is today - a lively five-theatre complex that reaches over 165,000 people every year through a diversity of programming.
The evening will begin with a festive wine and hors d'oeuvres reception in the Hegner Theatre Wing, followed by a one-night-only performance by The Improvised Shakespeare Company in the Gompertz Theatre. The Improvised Shakespeare Company is an amazing comedy group that creates a fully improvised play in Elizabethan style based on one audience suggestion: a title for a play that has yet to be written. Each performance is completely improvised, so each play is entirely new! This unique group is coming to Sarasota to perform exclusively for this event. The evening will culminate in a seated dinner in FST's Green Room Café, John C. Court Cabaret, and Bowne's Lab that will treat you to great food, music, and entertainment.
