IllumiNation

Explore the social, political, and cultural themes threaded throughout Asolo Rep's theatrical season. 

Join us as we examine issues of race, gender, identity, and cultural intersection. Discuss art and activism while connecting with community—these dynamic community conversations invite all to the table and challenge us to reflect upon our past and present in hopes for a more inclusive future.

Sharing Stories 

Each Sharing Stories event centers around a book or story, inviting language learners to explore stories together using their minds, bodies, and voices. Asolo Rep Teaching Artists challenge participants to share the books we read and stories we tell in imaginative, dramatic, and fun ways. Available for both in-classroom early language learners and families of all ages.

PLAYDATE 

Looking for an awesome FREE experience for your child while you see a show? Check out PlayDate! 

PlayDate is an opportunity for parents/guardians/caregivers to see an Asolo Rep production without having to book a babysitter. And even better? Your favorite young person will be creatively engaged, using theatre to explore, learn, and connect with others.   

Workshops happen at the same time as the show and are based off age-appropriate themes found onstage. Drop-off your small friends with a snack and a hug, see the show, and then have an awesome conversation about the art with the whole family afterwards!
