Join us for a lively party where all proceeds will benefit the transformation of The Sarasota Players Theatre at Payne Park Auditorium.

Inspired by Art Nouveau—a movement that found beauty, creativity, and wonder in nature, and a style that echoes the era when The Sarasota Players was founded in 1929.

Presenting Sponsor: Lana Moriece, Realtor with The Agency Real Estate
Sponsors: Palm Printing, Beneva

Tickets are $150 per person.
Sip and socialize during cocktail hour, savor a delicious dinner buffet, and enjoy the open bar, all by Curated Catering. Be dazzled by live entertainment, dancing, both silent and live auctions and other playful fundraising games during an unforgettable evening of celebration. A New Beginning, Beautifully Staged.

Guests will have the exclusive opportunity to see the auditorium before its transformation—and, by attending, earn an invitation to be among the first to witness its grand reveal.
