Education & Engagement donors partner with Asolo Rep in making professional live theatre accessible for everyone in our community. Our programming engages a wide variety of audiences and invites them to connect and create through exciting and innovative theatrical experiences.
ACCESS TO THE ARTS is an umbrella of programs that create opportunities for young people, community members, and educators to experience the connections, learning, and excitement in professional theatre. In 2020-2021, Asolo Rep made a selection of our world-class productions available to stream to classrooms, distance learning students, and community organizations. These theatrical experiences can be explored from home or classroom, making them accessible to more students in more places. ASOLO REP ONLINE CLASSES are spaces for students to be inspired by
professional artists, their peers, and themselves. We facilitate experiences for young people and adults who want to deepen their knowledge of the theatrical art form to have a safe and innovate space to do so—a learning laboratory for all aspects of the performing arts.
