The Asolo Repertory Theatre is a treat! It is located across the street from the Ringling Museum complex. We took a chance and were able to get discounted tickets for Fanny Brice day of show. The theatre is small and there's not a bad seat in the house. The theatre and restrooms were immaculate. The seats were comfortable. The performance... More

Asolo Rep is like having big house Broadway theaters, plus smaller black box theatre... right in your backyard.

TIME magazine once said it was worth the price just to enter and be seated. It was. Since I moved from FL. when I was near enough to go regularly to the Asolo I have missed it so. For over 30 yrs. I couldn't get back---until last week. Built in 1798 in Italy this marvelously intimate theatre (seating under 200)... More

Don't miss the student performances-- you're treated to seeing MFA/acting students at... More
