THE SCHOOL OF THEATRE AT FLORIDA STATE

2021-2022

SEASON FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY

W

are thrilled to welcome you back to the School of Theatre at Florida State and to our exciting 2021-2022 season of plays and musicals! Each year, we present performances that build on our rich past to reflect on the now, stimulate discussion among our community, and significantly enhance our students’ education.

For over 45 years, the School of Theatre has trained students not just for Broadway stages but as theatre-makers, leaders, artists, and advocates for theatre across the world. None of this would be possible without our immensely dedicated faculty and staff and the generous and loyal support from members of our community.

It is no wonder that with such shared effort the School of Theatre continues to be recognized as one of the top programs in the country.

After the last 18 months of unprecedented challenges, we hope that you will join us for each and every production as we celebrate the incredibly talented students, faculty, and staff who have worked tirelessly to create what you see on stage. Thank you for supporting the arts and the School of Theatre at Florida State as we could not do it without you!

Sincerely, Brad Brock Director The School of Theatre Florida State University

Kris Salata Chair The School of Theatre Florida State University
