Asolo Repertory Theatre Announces 'The Supper Club' Social Group

Asolo Repertory Theatre is proud to introduce The Supper Club, a new social group that blends food, fun and arts advocacy. Join co-chairs Nikki Taylor and Jane Thompson and sponsors 530 Burns Gallery and SRQ Media Group for this fun "dinner and a show" series at some of the hottest spots in Sarasota.

The Supper Club will host four events throughout the 2011-2012 season at various locations in the Sarasota area. The price of admission includes a cocktail and hors d'oeuvres hour that will be followed by tickets to see a show at the award-winning Asolo Rep. The first Supper Club event will be held on December 8, 2011 at 530 Burns Gallery. The night will begin with cocktails and Hors d'oeuvres at 6 p.m., and then the group will travel to Asolo Rep to catch the 8 p.m. performance of My Fair Lady, directed by Tony award-winner Frank Galati. 530 Burns Gallery by Nikki Sedacca is an intimate gallery beneath the banyan tree in Sarasota's Historic Burns Court, featuring many local artists, as well as those throughout the United States.

Tickets are $95/person or $100 at the door for each event, or $340/person for the entire series of four events.
