MICHAEL PASQUINI

PROFESSIONAL LIGHTING DESIGNER, FOUND HIS PASSION BEHIND THE SCENES.

THE PLAYERS CENTRE’S LAKEWOOD RANCH MOVE REACHES MORE PEOPLE AIMING TO STAGE THEIR FUTURE. Michael Pasquini, a professional lighting designer who’s worked alongside companies like Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe, the Sarasota Opera, Florida Studio Theatre, Asolo Repertory Theatre, the Utah Shakespeare Festival, American Stage in St. Petersburg, the Sarasota Orchestra and more, is one of many life-changing success stories achieved through participation in The Players Centre’s shows and programs. He began his nine-year involvement with The Players Centre in the late 1990s and received hands-on experience that ultimately helped pave his career path. Now, he’s working with us to create a spectacular lighting setup for our 92nd season at “Studio 1130” in The Crossings at Siesta Key! Your generous donation to the Center Stage Capital Campaign helps us broaden the impactful reach of arts and culture to people, like Michael, across our renowned “Cultural Coast.” Read the full interview with Michael, who recently caught up with us about his experience, in our latest blog at ThePlayers.org!

Q: How did you get involved with The Players

Centre lighting?

A: I was 13 years old, when my family moved to

Sarasota in 1997. My mom was looking for a performing arts organization in which my sister, Monica, and I could participate as we had in Louisville, Ky. It wasn’t long until she discovered The Players Studio and we took acting, voice and dance classes. Our first showcase on stage at The Players was magical.

Stepping onstage in front of that large audience was nerve-racking and exhilarating.

By the 1998-99 season, I was working backstage as a light board operator on “The Secret Garden,” spot operator on “Barnum” and assistant stage manager on “A Little Night Music.” During summers in high school, from 1999 to 2001, I was an assistant to the director of The Players Teen Camp. It was during the first season working backstage that the then-technical director, Chris McVicker, showed me how to change the lamps in lighting fixtures.

Q: In your opinion, how valuable is community theatre

on the Suncoast?

A: Community theatre is an excellent outlet for those interested in starting out or who want to learn more about what it means to perform and work backstage in the performing arts. It’s also a great opportunity for those who want to continue to work and volunteer in theatre in a nurturing, fun and safe environment.

To know that Sarasota has blossomed into the arts community that it is and to know that The Players has been around longer than any other performing arts organization in town speaks volumes as to its importance in helping those “get a foot in the door.”

It’s a great learning tool and resource for every aspect of production as well as fostering community.

Q: How can the Center Stage Capital Campaign

benefit the entire Suncoast?

A: The people – it’s truly a community of people who come together to bring the shows to life and a community of people for which we perform. There are definite financial benefits as well, but the ability to have a shared experience in the theatre live and in-person is like nothing else. The enrichment of those who participate, and the discipline learned, carry over into so many aspects of life.

business leaders, seniors and out-of-town patrons – who directly benefit from inspiring programs for people of all ages. John and Tippy Holz, Lakewood Ranch residents and co-chairs for the Center Stage Capital Campaign, took notice of The Players Centre’s community impact and view the move as a chance to create a focal point for the arts east of I-75.

“We have been inspired again and again by performances on The Players Centre’s stage throughout the years. That’s why Tippy and I invest so much of our time and effort into raising money for a home befitting the aspirations of our community theater,” John Holz said. “This new venue will be a more than 60,000-square foot facility that will be a beacon for arts and entertainment in an area that currently lacks a comparable vessel.

“Generations of families across the Sarasota area have grown up at The Players Centre, learning and honing a shared passion for the performing arts.”

Future generations can discover that same passion through your donation to the Center Stage Capital

Campaign, which truly delivers arts and culture into every home on the Suncoast. Together we can stage the next act for our community.

NOW PLAYING: A SPECTACULAR 92ND SEASON AT “STUDIO 1130” The Players Centre’s 92nd season, filled with exciting performances, has finally arrived! The six-show series, which began in early October with [title of show], ushers in the next act of our longstanding legacy on the Suncoast. The Players Centre’s season kicks off at Art Center Sarasota. In a melding of two Sarasota firsts, we will partner to present [title of show], a musical about the creation of the show itself.

The rest of the season will take place at the newly renovated “Studio 1130” – named after its address – located in The Crossings at Siesta Key, which positions us a step closer toward our move to Lakewood Ranch’s Waterside Place.

The 5,400-square-foot space, previously a Banana Republic, is now an intimate, 152-seat theatre featuring new lighting arrangements, and a beautiful stage designed to enhance engagement among audiences filling the room. It’s an exciting moment, following a year of outdoor performances because of the coronavirus pandemic, to showcase performances like you’ve never previously at The Players Centre!

The theatre opens up a unique opportunity for us to think outside the box and deliver inspiring shows that couldn’t otherwise be featured on a larger stage, like our former roughly 400-seat venue located at 838 N. Tamiami Trail in Sarasota.

Indoor live theatre, produced by our talented cast and committed local volunteers, is just a click away!

Patrons interested in The Players Centre’s new season can reserve a seat by purchasing a single ticket or signing up for series subscriptions – The “1130” Series, Preview Night Series or Flex Series – covering the cost of up to the entire lineup of shows.

Call the “Studio 1130” box office at (941) 365-2494 or visit ThePlayers.org to book a seat that offers you the best view in the house. Excitement awaits!

DIVORCE

without ATTORNEYS

After the emotional decision to divorce is made, the focus shifts to logistical and financial arrangements. In many cases, these can be decided without expensive and adversarial litigation.

Mediation allows a couple to “self-determine” the outcome, ensuring it is fair and reasonable; it protects your assets and relationships, providing a brighter future for all parties.

HELP US TURN EMPTY PLATES INTO THANKFULL TUMMIES AND HEARTS Most of us might find it impossible to imagine the holiday season without delicious meals, shared with friends and loved ones. However, for those who are struggling to put food on the table, the holidays can be a painful reminder of joys just out of reach.

But you can make a difference this holiday season. You can help All Faiths Food Bank turn empty plates into ThankFULL tummies and hearts.

As we continue to find ourselves in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic, our individual experiences may vary widely. While economists may point to the surging stock market, increases in personal wealth, and faster-than-expected economic recovery, for the most at-risk among us, times are still heartbreakingly difficult.

All Faiths Food Bank's goal this year is to provide 12,500 turkeys and sides to those in need.

With a gift to All Faiths Food Bank, you can make it possible for our neighbors to enjoy a festive holiday celebration complete with a healthy, delicious meal. This year, our goal is to distribute more than 12,500 turkeys and sides, and a total of 3.2 million holiday meals.

But we need your help – especially during yet another challenging year.

Let’s make it possible for everyone to be ThankFULL this holiday. We hope you will consider sharing the joy of helping others, and showcasing the true meaning of the season, by giving today.

To make a difference or for information please visit allfaithsfoodbank.org or call 941.379.6333

Turkeys will be provided at various distribution sites throughout the community.

THE PLAYERS CENTRE: YOUR PART IN OUR LATEST PRODUCTION Community theatre, by design, draws people together through exposure to vibrant arts and culture that inspires growth across neighborhoods, cities and regions nationwide. It’s a mission The Players Centre for Performing Arts, since our founding in 1929, holds close as we further entertain, educate and engage residents and out-of-town patrons with high-quality, locally produced shows that continue to stage Southwest Florida’s expanding title as the “Cultural Coast.” That nearly century-old push to connect communities through creativity – beginning in Sarasota and extending soon to The Players Centre’s new performing arts center in Lakewood Ranch – is the purpose behind our newsletter published in Season Magazine.

This is the first edition of what will be three newsletters sprawled across The Observer’s quarterly arts and social guides. It’s a chance for us to tell The Players Centre’s story, including updates about our 92nd season of spectacular shows, upcoming workshops at The Players Studio, series subscriptions and information about our crucial partnership with you to expand the reach of nonprofit arts and culture through our impending move to the growing Waterside Place development. These newsletters, featured in October, January and March, are just one of the many ways we’re inviting you to shine a spotlight on Lakewood Ranch

by preserving and popularizing the performing arts to benefit everyone.

It’s another opportunity to connect with you – countless volunteers to supporters near and far – and a region that has steadfastly embraced creativity of all genres. Explore our featured stories, visit The Players.org and learn how the community’s future stars you.

FEATURED INSIDE

FLORIDA’S ‘CULTURAL COAST’ CAN’T EXPAND WITHOUT A VITAL PIECE –

You

The Players Centre, for 92 years, has united people across the Suncoast through high-quality shows that entertain thousands of patrons annually across the area. That, at its core, is the purpose of community theatre – a judgment-free, inclusive stage designed to expose locals to arts and culture regardless of personal background or economic status. The key piece is people, ranging from patrons to actors, ushers and countless volunteers, who are dedicated to cultivating an inspirational and creative area for all to live, work and play.

This has served as The Players Centre’s goal since our inception in Sarasota and will continue following the move to Lakewood Ranch – to mold and expand what’s now widely regarded as Florida’s “Cultural Coast” – through our partnership with you for nearly a century. The Players Centre now plans to expand that influence east of the I-75 corridor, as we break ground

in spring 2023 on a two-stage, multi-use facility in Waterside Place that will permanently house the organization and provide easy access to performing arts regionwide. Fulfilling that vision through the Center Stage Capital Campaign, our fundraising initiative to raise $26.5 million to build and stage spectacular shows by 2025, is an achievement well within reach.

People, just like community theatre, play a crucial role in this production, which is why the tagline, “The Future, Starring You,” was carefully formed for this campaign.

It embodies The Players Centre’s mission to create a hub that serves as a home for all – young families to
