Asolo Theater Sarasota Florida
This was the rededication last month of the Asolo Theatre at the Ringling
Museum of Art in Sarasota. The interior pieces are from a 1798 theater that once
stood in Asolo, Italy. The theater was purchased by the museum years ago, and
was a performance space for many year. My mom and dad took me there when I was a
kid, and mom was an usher. It gradually fell into disrepair, but now has been
handsomely restored, and will be used again for opera, recitals, theater, films
and lectures. I have been supporting the renovation through the Huisking
Foundation, and there is a plaque with the foundation's name in the theater
lobby..
