OFF THE CHARTS! Comes to Florida Studio Theatre in July
Performances are on Sunday, July 2 and Sunday, July 9.
Florida Studio Theatre (FST) presents Off the Charts!, a new family-friendly revue celebrating the universal language of music. Featuring more than a dozen chart-topping songs from the past eight decades, Off the Charts! explores music’s ability to make us think, feel, and connect across generations. With such hits as “Hound Dog,” “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” “Shake It Off,” and “Can’t Stop The Feeling,” Off the Charts! will play in FST’s Bowne’s Lab Theatre on Sunday, July 2 and Sunday, July 9. Tickets are $10 and are now on sale at FloridaStudioTheatre.org or 941.366.9000.
“Off The Charts! is a great way for families to escape the heat and enjoy spending time together, all while listening to some of the most popular music from the 1950s through today,” said Caroline Saldivar, FST’s Director of Children’s Theatre and one of the show’s co-creators. “I hope that coming to see Off the Charts! becomes a way for families to talk about their favorite music, the memories music elicits, and what a certain song means to them.”
“Off the Charts! was specifically written for audiences of all ages,” said Sarah Durham, the show’s other co-creator. “You never know when and how the performing arts will impact someone, bring someone joy, or inspire someone to reminisce. FST aims to impact people in all of these ways with our programming, including our productions geared toward families.”
Featured in Off the Charts! are four members of FST’s Acting Apprentice company: Gavin Johnson, Gabriela Madu, Jennifer Sanchez, and Dellan Short.
FST’s production of Off the Charts! is sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts. The production is also supported by The Shubert Foundation.
In addition, this music-filled show will play during weekdays on FST’s downtown Sarasota campus for registered camps through July 14, 2023. To schedule a performance for your camp or group to attend, contact Shelby Lynhall, FST’s Education and WRITE A PLAY Manager, at 941.366.9797 or slynhall@floridastudiotheatre.org.
