Asolo Rep Postpones Performance of FOUNTAIN

Asolo Rep announced today that they have postponed the June 11 performance of FOUNTAIN in solidarity with black communities across the nation. A part of the Theatre's four-part new musical competition, GROUND FLOOR: MAKING MUSICALS, FOUNTAIN is now scheduled to be performed on Thursday, July 23 at 6pm.

The four-part new musical competition consists of four new and original musicals that will be broadcast live on the theatre's Facebook and YouTube pages.
