Providing Accessible Arts to All
At RST, we believe that learning through the arts builds the leaders of tomorrow. This past year, we expanded our reach across three core pillars: Youth Programs Auditions & Placement and Masterclasses & Workshops
Youth Programing

From student placement in Sweeney Todd to community-wide casting, our audition process is designed to help every performer find their perfect role. We focus on "learning by doing" in a professional environment.
Sharpen Your Skills & Share Your Passion Whether you want to take an acting class or you are a professional looking to teach our community, our workshops are the hub for artistic growth. Open to students and adults of all skill levels.

2025 Summer Camps
Best. Summer. Ever!
Our 2025 Summer Camp season was a vibrant journey through imagination and skill-building. From the whimsical world of Seussical to the depths of The Little Mermaid, our campers didn't just learn lines—they mastered the "actor’s instrument" through voice, movement, and ensemble teamwork.
Cultivating Tomorrow’s Talent
Whether you’re stepping onto the stage for the first time or honing a lifelong craft, Richey Suncoast Theatre provides the environment to help you shine. Join a community where creativity knows no bounds and every student finds their voice.
SpongeBob the Musical
Best. Day. Ever!
Our recent production of The SpongeBob Musical: Youth Edition was more than just a show—it was a masterclass in teamwork and optimism. Watching our talented local youth bring Bikini Bottom to life reminded us that even a "simple sponge" can be a hero. At RST, we’re proud to provide the stage where kids discover their own inner strength, one show-stopping number at a time.
