Asolo Repertory Theatre
With the mission to entertain, engage, inspire through the highest quality professional repertory theatre and superior educational programs, the Asolo Repertory Theatre delivers unparalleled excitement and tradition to the Sarasota cultural community.
Acquired by the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art for its collection more than 50 years ago, this little jewel of a theatre and fledgling acting company founded by faculty of Florida State University (FSU) began performing a summer series of plays under the name of the Asolo Theatre Festival and later as the Asolo Theatre Company. It later grew to become the respected first State Theatre of Florida and evolved into a year round professional theatre, a member of the prestigious League of Resident Theatres (LORT), and partnered with the FSU School of Theatre to mentor its MFA in Acting program – the highly acclaimed FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training.
The acting company and its audiences eventually outgrew the Ringling's Historic Asolo Theater and the company moved into its current home within the FSU Center for the Performing Arts where it is enjoying notable success. Tickets are on sale now for the 2007-2008 season that includes A Tale of Two Cities, Equus, and Misery to name a few.
