Florida Studio Theatre

PLAYWRITING WORKSHOPS

Available in your classroom for the entire 2021-2022 school year!

Florida Studio Theatre’s WRITE A PLAY program has been bringing quality arts-integration into classrooms for over 30 years!

Using proven theatrical methodology, FST teaching artists will guide students to write plays of their own focusing on the 4 elements of a play: Characters, Setting, Problem, and Dialogue. These workshops can be combined with our WRITE A PLAY performances, or offered independently.

Designed to integrate language arts and theatre standards, the workshops use innovative techniques to get your students excited about writing! Over a series of workshops students will learn about the elements of a play, and write and develop plays of their very own. Every student is encouraged to submit their plays to FST’s Young Playwright’s Festival our annual celebration of young playwright’s and educators.
