Small directional to direct us into the parking lot would have been helpful. Signage that isn't flush with the building would have helped as well. Having a live parking attendant is another solution. Frustrating when you are with someone who is disabled. That said.... The performance was the best of the season.... "Too fat for China" !!!

Really expected a half baked production filled with silly woke and bogus climate change stuff. At $40 a ticket had low expectations and figured we would walk out at some point. BUT, the story line for "Job" and the acting (only two people) was actually quite riveting, professional and interesting. We were quite surprised. BRAVO. Also, nearby free parking is a plus in Sarasota. Next year? Sure

I should have said something as checking with others this is a common complaint! The actors/ singers are so talented and the theatre is so small they honestly don't need the microphones which make it over the top loud. Still love this place!!!

It's great that they serve throughout the show, too. The food is bar food. Best to have dinner before going to the show and enjoy some basic snacks. House rule requires a 2 item per person minimum. It can be any combination of food, sodas, or alcohol drinks. Extremely reasonable. And the staff is super helpful in guiding you. There is no bad view. The mood is dark, intimate and definitely full of laughs. Bathrooms are spotless and it's great to have it stocked. Definitely worth a visit for a great date night.

Asolo Rep is a resident regional theatre company which also invites in guest artists. It works in conjunction with Florida State University's MFA Acting program, the FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training. This is a horse-shoe shaped theatre with 4 tiers of boxes and was modeled after La Fenice. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the building was the home theatre of the great Italian actress Eleonora Duse. In 1930, the Asolo Theatre was dismantled and put into storage. In 1949 the museum director of the John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art learned of the theatre's existence and saw the theatre as an ideal acquisition for the museum. It's been in existence here for 67 years since 1958.

There are very small parts of it that had to be reconfigured & restored that was damaged & didn't make the trip over, however about 85% of it is still in its original condition. It seats about 550 people & the acoustics are marvelous. My family & I went to see Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. As being someone who grew up going to broadway shows, this show transported me back to New York City! The friendliness of about half of the staff could be significantly better, nevertheless, everything else about this place was spectacular. Thanks Team Asolo Theater!
