ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S NOTE
As The Sarasota Players steps into an exciting new chapter, we find ourselves at a powerful moment of reflection and possibility. With new leadership and an energized Board of Directors who bring both deep roots and fresh perspective, we are standing at the threshold of a renewed vision, one that honors our past while boldly shaping our future As Artistic Director, I am incredibly proud and excited to help guide this next era as we move toward an extraordinary milestone: 100 years as Sarasota’s oldest theatre.
Our focus is clear We are committed to strengthening our mission and investing in what has always made The Sarasota Players special. At our heart, we are not simply a building or a stage, we are a community A community of artists, students, educators, volunteers, audiences, and supporters who believe in the power of storytelling and the transformative impact of theatre and theatre education. It is this shared passion that has carried us through decades of change and continues to propel us forward.
This season reflects that belief. It is rooted in connection, creativity, and courage, celebrating voices both familiar and new, honoring tradition while embracing innovation, and creating space for learning, growth, and joy. Whether you are joining us as a lifelong patron or stepping into our theatre for the very first time, you are an essential part of this story.
We are playing on. We are building toward the future with intention and heart. And as we return for our third act, we do so together, grateful for where we’ve been, inspired by where we’re going, and ready to continue telling stories that bring us closer, challenge us, and remind us why live theatre matters.
Thayer Greenberg Managing Artistic Director
The Sarasota Players
DIRECTOR’S NOTE
What does freedom feel like? What does patriotism look like? What does democracy sound like?
Sondheim and Weidman’s musical, ASSASSINS, triggers these existential questions, realizing that historically, sociologically, politically, and ideologically, the stars and stripes do not always align for every American citizen. For some, the pursuit of the star-spangled American Dream is a constellation of compromises, sacrifices, and empty promises. This is why the common man or woman takes up a gun and tries to change the course of history Nobody can hear the anthem clearly anymore because of the deafening sound of bleeding hearts, bullets, bloody ears, and the bellowing of a country divided.
Set in an anachronistic, surreal carnival limbo and with a score resonating with the history of American music, ASSASSINS explores these determined, but somewhat deranged individuals and their desperate, selfrighteous, and oftentimes futile attempts to change the world, win a prize, and gain notoriety
“I could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and not lose a single voter.” - Donald J Trump
"I do not accept that we cannot find a common sense way to preserve our traditions, including our basic second amendment freedoms and the rights of law abiding gun owners, while at the same time reducing the gun violence that unleashes so much mayhem on a regular basis." ~ Barack Obama
"There's no more personal issue than gun violence; every one of these stories is a life lost, i'm hoping these stories, will help to open people's eyes." ~ Chris Murphy
"Moments ago, the U.S. Senate decided to do the unthinkable about gun violence - nothing at all. ~ Gabrielle Giffords
"There are no free and democratic and wealthy countries in the world that have US rate of gun violence. We have to worry about loners and alienated people. We have to do better on mental health." ~ David Brooks
"We know that there are several predisposing factors to gun violence: poverty, lack of education, lack of good parenting, lack of jobs, living in an environment where violence is seen every day, all the time.” ~ Joycelyn Elders
