Annual Gala
Thank you for joining us for Asolo Rep’s biggest fundraiser of the season!
An Evening in Sherwood Forest
Saturday, April 30, 2022
The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota | 6PM
As the legendary setting of Robin Hood's epic adventures, Sherwood Forest has occupied a prominent place in the hearts and imaginations of countless dreamers for hundreds of years. Now, it is your turn to enter this storied wood.
The Annual Gala is Asolo Rep's largest fundraising event of the season. The evening included a cocktail reception, live auction, seated dinner, and dancing. Featured live music from Gary Racan and the Studio E band! Attendees captured the magic of the evening in the DigiBooths selfie photobooth featuring custom filters and instant delivery of your photos.
Gala proceeds supported all of the artists that will be part of Asolo Rep’s 2021-2022 season. The inspiring, captivating, and thought-provoking work on our stage is made possible through the backing of loyal donors like yourself. Proceeds from the Gala also bolster our award-winning education and engagement programs. Through the process of experiencing, discussing, and creating live theatre, students develop an appreciation for the arts, while gaining empathy and insight into the lives of others.
