The Florida Project

The Mission Statement:

The Florida Project is a non-profit, networking organization, which promotes excellence in the arts and entertainment industry. Our primary goal is to advance the career development of our members in fields related directly to the performing arts industry through activities and services which further their education and training. Our members are working across the country as performers, directors, playwrights, technicians and administrators in the fields of theatre, film and television media. FP was established in New York City in 1984 by a group of FSU School of Theatre and Asolo Conservatory alumni who wanted to foster a community of fellow Seminoles working in the Big Apple.

Our membership has now spread from New York to California, with many members in between leading to the establishment of our LA Chapter in November of 2000.

The Florida Project membership is comprised of students, alumni and supporters from Florida State University, The Asolo Conservatory and the Burt Reynolds Institute for Theatre Training. (You may check out their websites by clicking on the corresponding name). We are
committed to maintaining cohesiveness among all FSU, Asolo and BRITT graduates throughout the United States. Over the years, we have established chapters in Chicago, Atlanta, and at each of our schools as well as our largest two chapters, New York City and Los Angeles. We help keep our members in touch with those presently in the performing arts community.

The support of our members is what gives us our strength. It is what has been the driving force behind all our endeavors.

The Florida Project has successfully held many events over the years.< We have produced showcases and cabarets, a full off-off Broadway theatrical season, hosted social gatherings, conducted business forums, coordinated classes and workshops and sponsored playwriting contests, all of which have enhanced the visibility of our group. Our networking continues to bring together and connect our members with this industry.

If you did not attend or graduate from one of our programs and would like to become a member of The Florida Project, please let us know. We have Associate Memberships available.

If you are a graduate or attended FSU for a period of time and would like to update your information with their office, click FSU Alumni Association. THEY WILL BE HAPPY TO KEEP YOU UPDATED ON FSU EVENTS.

If you are interested in starting an FP Chapter in your city to help guide and foster other entertainment alumni, contact your local Seminole Club Chapter for assistance and also contact us. We would be happy to get you started.
