ASOLO REPERTORY THEATRE GUILD
Developing a Deeper Appreciation for the Theatre and Supporting Educational Opportunities for Children in Florida
We are a group of lively men and women, varying in age, who are stimulated by a wide array of theatre-related programming. We enjoy creative activities and deepening our appreciation for the theatre in general (Asolo Rep in particular!), while giving area students the opportunity to discover and enjoy live theatre by raising funds for Asolo Rep's Education & Outreach's program Access to the Arts.
We would love for you to join us! Please click here to download our brochure and membership form or call Barbara Maier at 941-358-3484.
