'Florida Studio Theatre's UNDER SIX to Perform At Westfield'

Florida Studio Theatre's UNDER SIX to Perform at Westfield

Mother's Day Weekend - Southgate May 9^th and Sarasota Square May 10^th 

On Mother's Day Weekend May 9^th and 10th, Florida Studio Theatre will partner with Westfield to perform for the Sarasota Community. Admission is Free. 

In speaking about the plays, Beth Duda, Director of UNDER SIX, said, "The plays selected for the 2009 edition of UNDER SIX are entertaining, heartwarming, and wise.  The plays touch very real emotional chords in everyone, not just children.  The tale of a Puerto Rican Coqui frog, trying to make his way in a new environment, befriended and helped by two Big-City Rats and the story of a Little Brother who misses the closeness he used to share with his Big Sister remind us of the importance of friends and family.   The Play, Little Red Flower tells the tale of a flower who is frightened of growing and changing, and the gentle Rain and Sunshine who help her to find the courage to grow.  The selected young playwrights have given us a full menu of plays that entertain us, enlighten us, and most of all make us FEEL." 

Westfield Marketing Director Todd Beckwith commented, "Sarasota is an arts community and Westfield is thrilled to have a partnership with a treasured cultural asset like Florida Studio Theatre that will deliver a one of a kind experience to entertain our shoppers on Mother's Day weekend." 

Each year, Florida Studio Theatre receives thousands of plays for submission to the Young Playwrights' Festival, which is a part of the Sarasota Festival of New Plays, and the culmination of the year-long WRITE A PLAY program.  In its sixteen-year history, the WRITE A PLAY program has reached over 1,000,000 children. The program continues to expand, thanks in part to various grants and funding received from local, state and national organizations
