Asolo Repertory Theatre production history

The Asolo Repertory Theatre is located in Sarasota, Florida. It was originally a summers-only operation called The Asolo Comedy Festival. In 1963 it began to be referred to as The Asolo Theatre Festival. Starting in the fall of 1966, when it went into year-round operation, the name was changed to The Asolo Theater Company (and it continued under that name for the next 30 years, when its title reverted to The Asolo Theater Festival). Starting in 2006, it became The Asolo Repertory Theater, familiarly known as The Asolo Rep.
