Part theater, part revival, and all power – this one-woman show with music will have you head nodding and hand clapping from start to finish. Written by award-winning playwright Cheryl L. West and portrayed by powerhouse performer E. Faye Butler, Fannie tells the story of civil rights icon Fannie Lou Hamer. From her humble origins as the daughter of a Mississippi sharecropper, to co-founding the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and demanding recognition at the National Democratic Convention, hers is a story of justice that will not be denied.

Audiences are advised that this show faithfully depicts the life of Fannie Lou Hamer including themes of racial and gender prejudice, physical and sexual violence, and charged historical imagery. Recommended for Ages 14+

The winner of four Tony® Awards, Lerner and Loewe’s classic 1960 musical defined an age when integrity, courage, and goodness prevailed as the ideals of humankind. King Arthur has created a utopian land of chivalry and civil rule. But when his beloved Queen Guenevere falls in love with Sir Lancelot, the king’s most trusted knight, true honor is put to the test. With one of Broadway’s most enchanting scores featuring the hauntingly romantic “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “I Loved You Once in Silence,” and “Follow Me,” Camelot gets a streamlined concert staging by Asolo Rep Associate Artistic Director Celine Rosenthal, with new orchestrations by Tony-nominated Steve Orich. This exquisite musical promises love at first sight, a castle in the distance, and an equal place for all.

Featuring Junior Cervila, Guadalupe Garcia and Justin Gregory Lopez

When the sun goes down, the heat kicks up when unstoppable actress, singer, dancer, and Latin pop sensation Ana Isabelle takes the Terrace Stage in a rare concert appearance. After her explosive performance as Eva Peròn in Asolo Rep’s Evita in 2017, Ana landed the role of Rosalia in Steven Spielberg's upcoming West Side Story; joined a veteran film cast in Imprisoned starring Laurence Fishburne; and co-starred in the remake of Coppola's Dementia 13. Now, she reunites with some of her Evita co-stars, including Justin Gregory Lopez (Che), and Tango dancers Guadalupe Garcia and Junior Cervila, in an electric evening of song and dance. Filled with Broadway standards and her own pop hits, Ana also introduces a brand new single scheduled for release later this year.
