Backstage Sarasota Go Behind The Scenes to 3 Local Theaters

Guests will begin with an exclusive visit to the state-of-the-art production and rehearsal facilities at the Asolo Repertory Theatre's Robert & Beverly Koski Center to see exactly how stage magic is made.

Traveling on Dolly The Trolley to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, guests will step onto the stage where a Van Wezel guide will get to peek behind the curtains to learn about the many hands that create thrilling shows for your enjoyment.

You will see the ropes and pulleys that "fly" the scenery on and off the stage, the movable orchestra pit, star dressing room, and loading dock where traveling shows back up their 18-wheelers load into the theater. All the while you'll be dazzled by stories and anecdotes around the colorful world of show business.

The final stop is a chance to see improv performance and try out your improv skills at the Florida Studio Theater.
