Asolo Rep’s Annual Gala

Escape into an unforgettable night of glitz, glamour and generosity. Asolo Repertory Theatre’s Annual Gala is the most anticipated fundraiser of the year. The night brings together creatives, philanthropists, and donors to support Asolo Rep’s exquisite artistry — and make a few memories along the way.

Support the Spectacular

The funds generated from this year’s Gala will sustain the talented artists of Asolo Rep’s 2025/2026 season. The support of loyal donors like you empowers top-level actors, musicians and artists to create the best professional theater performances that Sarasota has to offer.

Join us for an unforgettable evening beneath the shimmering waves of the new Mote SEA. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Gulf’s aquatic wonders while enjoying an evening of fine dining, dancing and a captivating performance celebrating the power of live theatre.
