One of the few true repertory companies in the nation!

The Asolo Theater Sarasota would like you to consider this: Whether you’re transfixed by fiction, transported by the rise and fall of politicians and movie stars, or transformed by the tales of friends and family, sharing stories is a fundamental part of what it is to be human.

It’s how we decide what is funny, moving, and important, and how we make sense of the world.

And the stories that burn in our memories are a good indication of who we are – both as individuals and as a culture.

In the theater, the power of the arts ignites to tell stories we all want and need to hear.

Sarasota's Asolo Rep is Florida’s premier repertory professional theater and one of the most important cultural forces in the Southeastern United States.

A center for theatrical excellence, The Asolo Theater Sarasota stages up to 15 productions every season, spanning a diverse repertoire of newly commissioned plays, bold reinterpretations of contemporary and classical works, and provocative new theater experiences.
