Energy and Laughter Fill the Summer Season!
Florida Studio Theatre Announces Its 2010 Summerfest Season


An energizing trip down memory lane, a hilarious one-woman show and a whimsical comedy make up the 2010 Summerfest Season at FST that will keep Sarasota entertained all summer long! The Summerfest Season plays from June 2 through August 22 in the Keating and Gompertz Theatres. A Subscription to all 3 plays can be purchased for ½ off box office pricing! Packages range from $29-$42.

Artistic Director, Richard Hopkins stated, "FST's summer season is filled with great moments in theatre. Beehive, The 60s Musical offers memorable hits of the 60s with high energy and fervor. Family Secrets, the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history, will expose hilarious family bonds, woes and triumphs. Sylvia returns to the FST stage with a comedic look at relationships and the pitfalls that occur and how the smallest things, in this case a dog, can turn everything on its ear."

Florida Studio Theatre kicks off its 2010 summer season with Beehive, The 60s Musical created by Larry Gallagher. The New York Times said Beehive is a "Hand-clapping, toe-tapping trip down memory lane." Over 35 exhilarating hit songs of the 60s that defined an era in music when women catapulted to the top of the Billboard charts. Relive some of the decade's most spirited and best known songs, including "My Boyfriend's Back," "One Fine Day," and "Downtown," as well as music from Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. Beehive, The 60s Musical begins June 2nd.

Director Fred Weiss will return to FST for Beehive, The 60s Musical, after most recently directing last summer's hit A Marvelous Party! The Noël Coward Celebration.

The one-woman sensation Family Secrets by Sherry Glaser and Gregory Howells begins June 30th as the actress single-handedly brings to life her five Jewish family members, transplanted from the Bronx to Southern California. Both a hilarious and deeply moving portrait of the head of household father, the manic mother, the earth mother, a short-fused sister and Grandma Rose. Family Secrets is the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history and received raved reviews, including "Utterly hilarious" by The New York Times.

The uproarious and larger than life Sylvia by A.R. Gurney begins July 28th. A whimsical comedy about a captivating canine named Sylvia (played by an actress) and the hilarity that results when man's best friend comes between husband and wife. After 22 years of marriage and with an empty nest, Greg and Kate finally have time to work on their strained relationship, until Sylvia is brought home. Kate is willing to go to great lengths to rid their home of the dog, but she does not anticipate Sylvia's affection. "Beautiful, funny, touching and profound," raved NY Daily News.

The first and third show in the Summerfest Season - Beehive, The 60s Musical and Sylvia - will be presented at FST's Keating Theatre. The second show Family Secrets will be presented at the Gompertz Theatre. Single tickets range from $19 for previews to $29-34 for regular performances. A subscription to all 3 shows ranges from $29-42. Subscription tickets and single tickets may be purchased from the FST Box Office in person, by phone (941) 366-9000 or online at www.floridastudiotheatre.org

Energy and Laughter Fill the Summer Season!
Florida Studio Theatre Announces Its 2010 Summerfest Season


An energizing trip down memory lane, a hilarious one-woman show and a whimsical comedy make up the 2010 Summerfest Season at FST that will keep Sarasota entertained all summer long! The Summerfest Season plays from June 2 through August 22 in the Keating and Gompertz Theatres. A Subscription to all 3 plays can be purchased for ½ off box office pricing! Packages range from $29-$42.

Artistic Director, Richard Hopkins stated, "FST's summer season is filled with great moments in theatre. Beehive, The 60s Musical offers memorable hits of the 60s with high energy and fervor. Family Secrets, the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history, will expose hilarious family bonds, woes and triumphs. Sylvia returns to the FST stage with a comedic look at relationships and the pitfalls that occur and how the smallest things, in this case a dog, can turn everything on its ear."

Florida Studio Theatre kicks off its 2010 summer season with Beehive, The 60s Musical created by Larry Gallagher. The New York Times said Beehive is a "Hand-clapping, toe-tapping trip down memory lane." Over 35 exhilarating hit songs of the 60s that defined an era in music when women catapulted to the top of the Billboard charts. Relive some of the decade's most spirited and best known songs, including "My Boyfriend's Back," "One Fine Day," and "Downtown," as well as music from Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. Beehive, The 60s Musical begins June 2nd.

Director Fred Weiss will return to FST for Beehive, The 60s Musical, after most recently directing last summer's hit A Marvelous Party! The Noël Coward Celebration.

The one-woman sensation Family Secrets by Sherry Glaser and Gregory Howells begins June 30th as the actress single-handedly brings to life her five Jewish family members, transplanted from the Bronx to Southern California. Both a hilarious and deeply moving portrait of the head of household father, the manic mother, the earth mother, a short-fused sister and Grandma Rose. Family Secrets is the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history and received raved reviews, including "Utterly hilarious" by The New York Times.

The uproarious and larger than life Sylvia by A.R. Gurney begins July 28th. A whimsical comedy about a captivating canine named Sylvia (played by an actress) and the hilarity that results when man's best friend comes between husband and wife. After 22 years of marriage and with an empty nest, Greg and Kate finally have time to work on their strained relationship, until Sylvia is brought home. Kate is willing to go to great lengths to rid their home of the dog, but she does not anticipate Sylvia's affection. "Beautiful, funny, touching and profound," raved NY Daily News.

The first and third show in the Summerfest Season - Beehive, The 60s Musical and Sylvia - will be presented at FST's Keating Theatre. The second show Family Secrets will be presented at the Gompertz Theatre. Single tickets range from $19 for previews to $29-34 for regular performances. A subscription to all 3 shows ranges from $29-42. Subscription tickets and single tickets may be purchased from the FST Box Office in person, by phone (941) 366-9000 or online at <www.floridastudiotheatre.org>

Artistic Director, Richard Hopkins stated, "FST's summer season is filled with great moments in theatre. Beehive, The 60s Musical offers memorable hits of the 60s with high energy and fervor. Family Secrets, the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history, will expose hilarious family bonds, woes and triumphs. Sylvia returns to the FST stage with a comedic look at relationships and the pitfalls that occur and how the smallest things, in this case a dog, can turn everything on its ear."

Florida Studio Theatre kicks off its 2010 summer season with Beehive, The 60s Musical created by Larry Gallagher. The New York Times said Beehive is a "Hand-clapping, toe-tapping trip down memory lane." Over 35 exhilarating hit songs of the 60s that defined an era in music when women catapulted to the top of the Billboard charts. Relive some of the decade's most spirited and best known songs, including "My Boyfriend's Back," "One Fine Day," and "Downtown," as well as music from Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. Beehive, The 60s Musical begins June 2nd.

Director Fred Weiss will return to FST for Beehive, The 60s Musical, after most recently directing last summer's hit A Marvelous Party! The Noël Coward Celebration.

The one-woman sensation Family Secrets by Sherry Glaser and Gregory Howells begins June 30th as the actress single-handedly brings to life her five Jewish family members, transplanted from the Bronx to Southern California. Both a hilarious and deeply moving portrait of the head of household father, the manic mother, the earth mother, a short-fused sister and Grandma Rose. Family Secrets is the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history and received raved reviews, including "Utterly hilarious" by The New York Times.

The uproarious and larger than life Sylvia by A.R. Gurney begins July 28th. A whimsical comedy about a captivating canine named Sylvia (played by an actress) and the hilarity that results when man's best friend comes between husband and wife. After 22 years of marriage and with an empty nest, Greg and Kate finally have time to work on their strained relationship, until Sylvia is brought home. Kate is willing to go to great lengths to rid their home of the dog, but she does not anticipate Sylvia's affection. "Beautiful, funny, touching and profound," raved NY Daily News.

The first and third show in the Summerfest Season - Beehive, The 60s Musical and Sylvia - will be presented at FST's Keating Theatre. The second show Family Secrets will be presented at the Gompertz Theatre. Single tickets range from $19 for previews to $29-34 for regular performances. A subscription to all 3 shows ranges from $29-42. Subscription tickets and single tickets may be purchased from the FST Box Office in person, by phone (941) 366-9000 or online at <www.floridastudiotheatre.org>

Both a hilarious and deeply moving portrait of the head of household father, the manic mother, the earth mother, a short-fused sister and Grandma Rose. Family Secrets is the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history and received raved reviews, including "Utterly hilarious" by The New York Times.

The uproarious and larger than life Sylvia by A.R. Gurney begins July 28th. A whimsical comedy about a captivating canine named Sylvia (played by an actress) and the hilarity that results when man's best friend comes between husband and wife. After 22 years of marriage and with an empty nest, Greg and Kate finally have time to work on their strained relationship, until Sylvia is brought home. Kate is willing to go to great lengths to rid their home of the dog, but she does not anticipate Sylvia's affection. "Beautiful, funny, touching and profound," raved NY Daily News.

The first and third show in the Summerfest Season - Beehive, The 60s Musical and Sylvia - will be presented at FST's Keating Theatre. The second show Family Secrets will be presented at the Gompertz Theatre. Single tickets range from $19 for previews to $29-34 for regular performances.

Energy and Laughter Fill the Summer Season!
Florida Studio Theatre Announces Its 2010 Summerfest Season


An energizing trip down memory lane, a hilarious one-woman show and a whimsical comedy make up the 2010 Summerfest Season at FST that will keep Sarasota entertained all summer long! The Summerfest Season plays from June 2 through August 22 in the Keating and Gompertz Theatres. A Subscription to all 3 plays can be purchased for ½ off box office pricing! Packages range from $29-$42.

Artistic Director, Richard Hopkins stated, "FST's summer season is filled with great moments in theatre. Beehive, The 60s Musical offers memorable hits of the 60s with high energy and fervor. Family Secrets, the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history, will expose hilarious family bonds, woes and triumphs. Sylvia returns to the FST stage with a comedic look at relationships and the pitfalls that occur and how the smallest things, in this case a dog, can turn everything on its ear."

Florida Studio Theatre kicks off its 2010 summer season with Beehive, The 60s Musical created by Larry Gallagher. The New York Times said Beehive is a "Hand-clapping, toe-tapping trip down memory lane." Over 35 exhilarating hit songs of the 60s that defined an era in music when women catapulted to the top of the Billboard charts. Relive some of the decade's most spirited and best known songs, including "My Boyfriend's Back," "One Fine Day," and "Downtown," as well as music from Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. Beehive, The 60s Musical begins June 2nd.

Artistic Director, Richard Hopkins stated, "FST's summer season is filled with great moments in theatre. Beehive, The 60s Musical offers memorable hits of the 60s with high energy and fervor. Family Secrets, the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history, will expose hilarious family bonds, woes and triumphs. Sylvia returns to the FST stage with a comedic look at relationships and the pitfalls that occur and how the smallest things, in this case a dog, can turn everything on its ear."

Florida Studio Theatre kicks off its 2010 summer season with Beehive, The 60s Musical created by Larry Gallagher. The New York Times said Beehive is a "Hand-clapping, toe-tapping trip down memory lane." Over 35 exhilarating hit songs of the 60s that defined an era in music when women catapulted to the top of the Billboard charts. Relive some of the decade's most spirited and best known songs, including "My Boyfriend's Back," "One Fine Day," and "Downtown," as well as music from Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. Beehive, The 60s Musical begins June 2nd.

Director Fred Weiss will return to FST for Beehive, The 60s Musical, after most recently directing last summer's hit A Marvelous Party! The Noël Coward Celebration.

The one-woman sensation Family Secrets by Sherry Glaser and Gregory Howells begins June 30th as the actress single-handedly brings to life her five Jewish family members, transplanted from the Bronx to Southern California. Both a hilarious and deeply moving portrait of the head of household father, the manic mother, the earth mother, a short-fused sister and Grandma Rose. Family Secrets is the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history and received raved reviews, including "Utterly hilarious" by The New York Times.

The uproarious and larger than life Sylvia by A.R. Gurney begins July 28th. A whimsical comedy about a captivating canine named Sylvia (played by an actress) and the hilarity that results when man's best friend comes between husband and wife. After 22 years of marriage and with an empty nest, Greg and Kate finally have time to work on their strained relationship, until Sylvia is brought home. Kate is willing to go to great lengths to rid their home of the dog, but she does not anticipate Sylvia's affection. "Beautiful, funny, touching and profound," raved NY Daily News.

The first and third show in the Summerfest Season - Beehive, The 60s Musical and Sylvia - will be presented at FST's Keating Theatre. The second show Family Secrets will be presented at the Gompertz Theatre. Single tickets range from $19 for previews to $29-34 for regular performances. A subscription to all 3 shows ranges from $29-42.

Energy and Laughter Fill the Summer Season!
Florida Studio Theatre Announces Its 2010 Summerfest Season


An energizing trip down memory lane, a hilarious one-woman show and a whimsical comedy make up the 2010 Summerfest Season at FST that will keep Sarasota entertained all summer long! The Summerfest Season plays from June 2 through August 22 in the Keating and Gompertz Theatres. A Subscription to all 3 plays can be purchased for ½ off box office pricing! Packages range from $29-$42.

Artistic Director, Richard Hopkins stated, "FST's summer season is filled with great moments in theatre. Beehive, The 60s Musical offers memorable hits of the 60s with high energy and fervor. Family Secrets, the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history, will expose hilarious family bonds, woes and triumphs. Sylvia returns to the FST stage with a comedic look at relationships and the pitfalls that occur and how the smallest things, in this case a dog, can turn everything on its ear."

Florida Studio Theatre kicks off its 2010 summer season with Beehive, The 60s Musical created by Larry Gallagher. The New York Times said Beehive is a "Hand-clapping, toe-tapping trip down memory lane." Over 35 exhilarating hit songs of the 60s that defined an era in music when women catapulted to the top of the Billboard charts. Relive some of the decade's most spirited and best known songs, including "My Boyfriend's Back," "One Fine Day," and "Downtown," as well as music from Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. Beehive, The 60s Musical begins June 2nd.

Director Fred Weiss will return to FST for Beehive, The 60s Musical, after most recently directing last summer's hit A Marvelous Party! The Noël Coward Celebration.

The one-woman sensation Family Secrets by Sherry Glaser and Gregory Howells begins June 30th as the actress single-handedly brings to life her five Jewish family members, transplanted from the Bronx to Southern California. Both a hilarious and deeply moving portrait of the head of household father, the manic mother, the earth mother, a short-fused sister and Grandma Rose. Family Secrets is the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history and received raved reviews, including "Utterly hilarious" by The New York Times.

The uproarious and larger than life Sylvia by A.R. Gurney begins July 28th. A whimsical comedy about a captivating canine named Sylvia (played by an actress) and the hilarity that results when man's best friend comes between husband and wife. After 22 years of marriage and with an empty nest, Greg and Kate finally have time to work on their strained relationship, until Sylvia is brought home. Kate is willing to go to great lengths to rid their home of the dog, but she does not anticipate Sylvia's affection. "Beautiful, funny, touching and profound," raved NY Daily News.

The first and third show in the Summerfest Season - Beehive, The 60s Musical and Sylvia - will be presented at FST's Keating Theatre. The second show Family Secrets will be presented at the Gompertz Theatre. Single tickets range from $19 for previews to $29-34 for regular performances. A subscription to all 3 shows ranges from $29-42. Subscription tickets and single tickets may be purchased from the FST Box Office in person, by phone (941) 366-9000 or online at <www.floridastudiotheatre.org>

Energy and Laughter Fill the Summer Season!
Florida Studio Theatre Announces Its 2010 Summerfest Season


An energizing trip down memory lane, a hilarious one-woman show and a whimsical comedy make up the 2010 Summerfest Season at FST that will keep Sarasota entertained all summer long! The Summerfest Season plays from June 2 through August 22 in the Keating and Gompertz Theatres. A Subscription to all 3 plays can be purchased for ½ off box office pricing! Packages range from $29-$42.

Artistic Director, Richard Hopkins stated, "FST's summer season is filled with great moments in theatre. Beehive, The 60s Musical offers memorable hits of the 60s with high energy and fervor. Family Secrets, the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history, will expose hilarious family bonds, woes and triumphs. Sylvia returns to the FST stage with a comedic look at relationships and the pitfalls that occur and how the smallest things, in this case a dog, can turn everything on its ear."

Florida Studio Theatre kicks off its 2010 summer season with Beehive, The 60s Musical created by Larry Gallagher. The New York Times said Beehive is a "Hand-clapping, toe-tapping trip down memory lane." Over 35 exhilarating hit songs of the 60s that defined an era in music when women catapulted to the top of the Billboard charts. Relive some of the decade's most spirited and best known songs, including "My Boyfriend's Back," "One Fine Day," and "Downtown," as well as music from Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. Beehive, The 60s Musical begins June 2nd.

Director Fred Weiss will return to FST for Beehive, The 60s Musical, after most recently directing last summer's hit A Marvelous Party! The Noël Coward Celebration.

The one-woman sensation Family Secrets by Sherry Glaser and Gregory Howells begins June 30th as the actress single-handedly brings to life her five Jewish family members, transplanted from the Bronx to Southern California. Both a hilarious and deeply moving portrait of the head of household father, the manic mother, the earth mother, a short-fused sister and Grandma Rose. Family Secrets is the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history and received raved reviews, including "Utterly hilarious" by The New York Times.

The uproarious and larger than life Sylvia by A.R. Gurney begins July 28th. A whimsical comedy about a captivating canine named Sylvia (played by an actress) and the hilarity that results when man's best friend comes between husband and wife. After 22 years of marriage and with an empty nest, Greg and Kate finally have time to work on their strained relationship, until Sylvia is brought home. Kate is willing to go to great lengths to rid their home of the dog, but she does not anticipate Sylvia's affection. "Beautiful, funny, touching and profound," raved NY Daily News.

The first and third show in the Summerfest Season - Beehive, The 60s Musical and Sylvia - will be presented at FST's Keating Theatre. The second show Family Secrets will be presented at the Gompertz Theatre. Single tickets range from $19 for previews to $29-34 for regular performances. A subscription to all 3 shows ranges from $29-42.

Relive some of the decade's most spirited and best known songs, including "My Boyfriend's Back," "One Fine Day," and "Downtown," as well as music from Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. Beehive, The 60s Musical begins June 2nd.

Director Fred Weiss will return to FST for Beehive, The 60s Musical, after most recently directing last summer's hit A Marvelous Party! The Noël Coward Celebration.

The one-woman sensation Family Secrets by Sherry Glaser and Gregory Howells begins June 30th as the actress single-handedly brings to life her five Jewish family members, transplanted from the Bronx to Southern California. Both a hilarious and deeply moving portrait of the head of household father, the manic mother, the earth mother, a short-fused sister and Grandma Rose. Family Secrets is the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history and received raved reviews, including "Utterly hilarious" by The New York Times.

The uproarious and larger than life Sylvia by A.R. Gurney begins July 28th. A whimsical comedy about a captivating canine named Sylvia (played by an actress) and the hilarity that results when man's best friend comes between husband and wife. After 22 years of marriage and with an empty nest, Greg and Kate finally have time to work on their strained relationship, until Sylvia is brought home. Kate is willing to go to great lengths to rid their home of the dog, but she does not anticipate Sylvia's affection. "Beautiful, funny, touching and profound," raved NY Daily News.

The first and third show in the Summerfest Season - Beehive, The 60s Musical and Sylvia - will be presented at FST's Keating Theatre. The second show Family Secrets will be presented at the Gompertz Theatre. Single tickets range from $19 for previews to $29-34 for regular performances.

Energy and Laughter Fill the Summer Season!
Florida Studio Theatre Announces Its 2010 Summerfest Season


An energizing trip down memory lane, a hilarious one-woman show and a whimsical comedy make up the 2010 Summerfest Season at FST that will keep Sarasota entertained all summer long! The Summerfest Season plays from June 2 through August 22 in the Keating and Gompertz Theatres. A Subscription to all 3 plays can be purchased for ½ off box office pricing! Packages range from $29-$42.

Artistic Director, Richard Hopkins stated, "FST's summer season is filled with great moments in theatre. Beehive, The 60s Musical offers memorable hits of the 60s with high energy and fervor. Family Secrets, the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history, will expose hilarious family bonds, woes and triumphs. Sylvia returns to the FST stage with a comedic look at relationships and the pitfalls that occur and how the smallest things, in this case a dog, can turn everything on its ear."

Florida Studio Theatre kicks off its 2010 summer season with Beehive, The 60s Musical created by Larry Gallagher. The New York Times said Beehive is a "Hand-clapping, toe-tapping trip down memory lane."

Energy and Laughter Fill the Summer Season!
Florida Studio Theatre Announces Its 2010 Summerfest Season


An energizing trip down memory lane, a hilarious one-woman show and a whimsical comedy make up the 2010 Summerfest Season at FST that will keep Sarasota entertained all summer long! The Summerfest Season plays from June 2 through August 22 in the Keating and Gompertz Theatres. A Subscription to all 3 plays can be purchased for ½ off box office pricing! Packages range from $29-$42.

Artistic Director, Richard Hopkins stated, "FST's summer season is filled with great moments in theatre. Beehive, The 60s Musical offers memorable hits of the 60s with high energy and fervor. Family Secrets, the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history, will expose hilarious family bonds, woes and triumphs. Sylvia returns to the FST stage with a comedic look at relationships and the pitfalls that occur and how the smallest things, in this case a dog, can turn everything on its ear."

Florida Studio Theatre kicks off its 2010 summer season with Beehive, The 60s Musical created by Larry Gallagher. The New York Times said Beehive is a "Hand-clapping, toe-tapping trip down memory lane." Over 35 exhilarating hit songs of the 60s that defined an era in music when women catapulted to the top of the Billboard charts. Relive some of the decade's most spirited and best known songs, including "My Boyfriend's Back," "One Fine Day," and "Downtown," as well as music from Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. Beehive, The 60s Musical begins June 2nd.

Director Fred Weiss will return to FST for Beehive, The 60s Musical, after most recently directing last summer's hit A Marvelous Party! The Noël Coward Celebration.

The one-woman sensation Family Secrets by Sherry Glaser and Gregory Howells begins June 30th as the actress single-handedly brings to life her five Jewish family members, transplanted from the Bronx to Southern California. Both a hilarious and deeply moving portrait of the head of household father, the manic mother, the earth mother, a short-fused sister and Grandma Rose. Family Secrets is the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history and received raved reviews, including "Utterly hilarious" by The New York Times.

The uproarious and larger than life Sylvia by A.R. Gurney begins July 28th. A whimsical comedy about a captivating canine named Sylvia (played by an actress) and the hilarity that results when man's best friend comes between husband and wife. After 22 years of marriage and with an empty nest, Greg and Kate finally have time to work on their strained relationship, until Sylvia is brought home. Kate is willing to go to great lengths to rid their home of the dog, but she does not anticipate Sylvia's affection. "Beautiful, funny, touching and profound," raved NY Daily News.

The first and third show in the Summerfest Season - Beehive, The 60s Musical and Sylvia - will be presented at FST's Keating Theatre. The second show Family Secrets will be presented at the Gompertz Theatre. Single tickets range from $19 for previews to $29-34 for regular performances. A subscription to all 3 shows ranges from $29-42. Subscription tickets and single tickets may be purchased from the FST Box Office in person, by phone (941) 366-9000 or online at <www.floridastudiotheatre.org>

Organized by the Brooklyn Museum
Yinka Shonibare is best known for reinterpreting scenes taken from English Grand Manner painting through the use of headless mannequins dressed in 18th-century styles. The costumes, however are constructed from contemporary Dutch wax fabric produced in Europe for an African market.

Event Title: The Observer and The Observed
Where: Art Center Sarasota
Thursday, July 22, 2010
Time: 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM EST
'The Observer and The Observed' art display brings new meaning to culture and diversity
The public is invited to a free viewing of an art display, "The Observer and The Observed," that will debut from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, July 22, at the Art Center Sarasota, 707 N. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota. The paintings, sculptures and photography depict 16 artists' interpretation of four different families with young children who are experiencing emotional and behavioral challenges from different perspectives to provide a fascinating insight into the uniqueness of culture.
The exhibit will be on display throughout the summer, and will include workshops and other community events surrounding this exchange of culture.
The Sarasota Partnership for Children's Mental Health and the Art Center Sarasota are collaborating on this art project as a way to increase awareness and acceptance of the needs of children and families impacted by mental illness.
"Every person has an 'observer' -- the place from where we observe, react and interact with the world, a unique lens which is a product of our personal history and the culture we have lived in," said Anne Ferrier, cultural and linguistic competency coordinator for the Sarasota Partnership for Children's Mental Health.
In this display, artistic expression illustrates that through the human experience, we are all active participants in the world, creating our world every moment through the lenses that we use. The hope is that residents will see how their own personal lens --beliefs and life experiences-- color the way they perceive and then interact in the world.
"Because we all use a unique and very personal lens, we are always dealing with diversity," says Ferrier added. "Diversity and culture is not in the color of our skin; it is in the way we see, listen, touch, speak and move."
The 16 artists represent different cultures, age groups and backgrounds, allowing for a unique, enlightening exchange between the artists and families.
The Sarasota Partnership for Children's Mental Health is a network of community partners, agencies and families working together to change the way children with social and emotional issues are helped and understood. Services and support systems are family driven, culturally sensitive and individualized for each child and family.
For more information, contact Anne Ferrier at the Partnership for Children's Mental Health by calling 941-861-1427. A website is currently under development.

Energy and Laughter Fill the Summer Season!
Florida Studio Theatre Announces Its 2010 Summerfest Season


An energizing trip down memory lane, a hilarious one-woman show and a whimsical comedy make up the 2010 Summerfest Season at FST that will keep Sarasota entertained all summer long! The Summerfest Season plays from June 2 through August 22 in the Keating and Gompertz Theatres. A Subscription to all 3 plays can be purchased for ½ off box office pricing! Packages range from $29-$42.

Artistic Director, Richard Hopkins stated, "FST's summer season is filled with great moments in theatre. Beehive, The 60s Musical offers memorable hits of the 60s with high energy and fervor. Family Secrets, the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history, will expose hilarious family bonds, woes and triumphs. Sylvia returns to the FST stage with a comedic look at relationships and the pitfalls that occur and how the smallest things, in this case a dog, can turn everything on its ear."

Florida Studio Theatre kicks off its 2010 summer season with Beehive, The 60s Musical created by Larry Gallagher. The New York Times said Beehive is a "Hand-clapping, toe-tapping trip down memory lane." Over 35 exhilarating hit songs of the 60s that defined an era in music when women catapulted to the top of the Billboard charts. Relive some of the decade's most spirited and best known songs, including "My Boyfriend's Back," "One Fine Day," and "Downtown," as well as music from Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. Beehive, The 60s Musical begins June 2nd.

Director Fred Weiss will return to FST for Beehive, The 60s Musical, after most recently directing last summer's hit A Marvelous Party! The Noël Coward Celebration.

The one-woman sensation Family Secrets by Sherry Glaser and Gregory Howells begins June 30th as the actress single-handedly brings to life her five Jewish family members, transplanted from the Bronx to Southern California. Both a hilarious and deeply moving portrait of the head of household father, the manic mother, the earth mother, a short-fused sister and Grandma Rose. Family Secrets is the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history and received raved reviews, including "Utterly hilarious" by The New York Times.

The uproarious and larger than life Sylvia by A.R. Gurney begins July 28th. A whimsical comedy about a captivating canine named Sylvia (played by an actress) and the hilarity that results when man's best friend comes between husband and wife. After 22 years of marriage and with an empty nest, Greg and Kate finally have time to work on their strained relationship, until Sylvia is brought home. Kate is willing to go to great lengths to rid their home of the dog, but she does not anticipate Sylvia's affection. "Beautiful, funny, touching and profound," raved NY Daily News.

The first and third show in the Summerfest Season - Beehive, The 60s Musical and Sylvia - will be presented at FST's Keating Theatre. The second show Family Secrets will be presented at the Gompertz Theatre. Single tickets range from $19 for previews to $29-34 for regular performances.

Yinka Shonibare MBE: Mother and Father Worked Hard So I Can Play
Organized by the Brooklyn Museum
Yinka Shonibare is best known for reinterpreting scenes taken from English Grand Manner painting through the use of headless mannequins dressed in 18th-century styles. The costumes, however are constructed from contemporary Dutch wax fabric produced in Europe for an African market. Through blending historical styles with "African" visual motifs, Shonibare confronts issues of African identity and European colonialism in an, at times, playful manner.

Energy and Laughter Fill the Summer Season!
Florida Studio Theatre Announces Its 2010 Summerfest Season


An energizing trip down memory lane, a hilarious one-woman show and a whimsical comedy make up the 2010 Summerfest Season at FST that will keep Sarasota entertained all summer long! The Summerfest Season plays from June 2 through August 22 in the Keating and Gompertz Theatres. A Subscription to all 3 plays can be purchased for ½ off box office pricing! Packages range from $29-$42.

Artistic Director, Richard Hopkins stated, "FST's summer season is filled with great moments in theatre. Beehive, The 60s Musical offers memorable hits of the 60s with high energy and fervor. Family Secrets, the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history, will expose hilarious family bonds, woes and triumphs. Sylvia returns to the FST stage with a comedic look at relationships and the pitfalls that occur and how the smallest things, in this case a dog, can turn everything on its ear."

Florida Studio Theatre kicks off its 2010 summer season with Beehive, The 60s Musical created by Larry Gallagher. The New York Times said Beehive is a "Hand-clapping, toe-tapping trip down memory lane." Over 35 exhilarating hit songs of the 60s that defined an era in music when women catapulted to the top of the Billboard charts. Relive some of the decade's most spirited and best known songs, including "My Boyfriend's Back," "One Fine Day," and "Downtown," as well as music from Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. Beehive, The 60s Musical begins June 2nd.

Director Fred Weiss will return to FST for Beehive, The 60s Musical, after most recently directing last summer's hit A Marvelous Party! The Noël Coward Celebration.

The one-woman sensation Family Secrets by Sherry Glaser and Gregory Howells begins June 30th as the actress single-handedly brings to life her five Jewish family members, transplanted from the Bronx to Southern California. Both a hilarious and deeply moving portrait of the head of household father, the manic mother, the earth mother, a short-fused sister and Grandma Rose. Family Secrets is the longest running one-woman show in Off-Broadway history and received raved reviews, including "Utterly hilarious" by The New York Times.

The uproarious and larger than life Sylvia by A.R. Gurney begins July 28th. A whimsical comedy about a captivating canine named Sylvia (played by an actress) and the hilarity that results when man's best friend comes between husband and wife. After 22 years of marriage and with an empty nest, Greg and Kate finally have time to work on their strained relationship, until Sylvia is brought home. Kate is willing to go to great lengths to rid their home of the dog, but she does not anticipate Sylvia's affection. "Beautiful, funny, touching and profound," raved NY Daily News.

The first and third show in the Summerfest Season - Beehive, The 60s Musical and Sylvia - will be presented at FST's Keating Theatre. The second show Family Secrets will be presented at the Gompertz Theatre. Single tickets range from $19 for previews to $29-34 for regular performances. A subscription to all 3 shows ranges from $29-42. Subscription tickets and single tickets may be purchased from the FST Box Office in person, by phone (941) 366-9000 or online at <www.floridastudiotheatre.org>
