A Theatre Experience for Everyone Supporting Our Local Heroes

Asolo Repertory Theatre is committed to bringing high-quality theatre to our community while uplifting the organizations that serve it. This season, we are proud to offer a special Pay What You Will performance of Come from Away, designed to make world-class theatre accessible while benefiting the Sarasota Fire Fighters Benevolent Fund. 

This initiative reflects Asolo Rep’s ongoing commitment to access, community partnership, and shared experience. Through collaborations with local organizations, we work to remove financial barriers and welcome more people into the transformative world of live theatre. 

“Asolo Rep is honored to partner with Sarasota Fire Fighters Benevolent Fund for our Pay What You Will performance of Come from Away. The sympatico with this particular show is quite profound, and we are proud to support our first responders while we welcome everyone in our community to experience the power of live theatre,” said Peter Rothstein, Producing Artistic Director.
