Sarasota Theater Behind-the-Scenes Tour 2 hr

Step beyond the curtain and discover how Sarasota’s theater magic comes to life. This 120-minute Sarasota Theater Behind-the-Scenes Tour visits three local venues, pairing backstage access with stories from the people and places that make each production possible.

Begin at the Asolo Repertory Theatre’s Robert & Beverly Koski Center, where you’ll explore state-of-the-art production and rehearsal facilities. Then ride Dolly The Trolley to Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. A Van Wezel guide leads you onto the stage and reveals the ropes and pulleys that move scenery, the movable orchestra pit, a star dressing room, and the loading dock used by touring productions. Along the way, hear colorful anecdotes about the world of show business. At Florida Studio Theater, finish with an improv performance and a chance to try your own improv skills.

With a live English-speaking guide and bottled water provided, this Sarasota Theater Behind-the-Scenes Tour offers a lively look at the craft, teamwork, and surprises behind a night at the theater. Meet at the Trolley Cottage & Gift Shop and come ready to see the stage from a new perspective.
