Photo by Janet CombsOne of the highlights of the season is Florida Studio Theatre's annual Shindig, and the much anticipated 2025 event did not disappoint.
The March 10 event began on the corner of Cocoanut and Palm avenues with cocktails and passed hors d'oeuvres. About 250 guests enjoyed performances by the Circus Arts Conservatory; Nick Lande, the Honest Magician; and FST Improv. A guest appearance by Alex Huppe's pristine 1937 Buick Special was used as a photo op and left guests and passersby alike oohing and aahing.
After moving into the Hegner Theatre Wing, FST Managing Director Rebecca Hopkins opened the show with her typical humor and good nature. Chairwoman Anita DeVine was acknowledged and presented with a bouquet of flowers, and guests were treated to performances by cast members of “Jersey Boys,” “59th Street Bridge” and “Divas.”
Producing Artistic Director Richard Hopkins took the audience to a more serious note when he bestowed the coveted Spelman Award upon Priscilla and Jack Schlegel. The Spelman Award honors individuals/couples and organizations that have demonstrated extraordinary leadership with mentoring, service and/or philanthropic support.
