Crossings at Siesta Key, Studio 1130, 3501 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34239

The Players Centre for Performing Arts presents the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning play Rabbit Hole at Studio 1130 located in the Crossings at Siesta Key mall (3501 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34239) June 8-19, 2022. In 2020, at the top of the pandemic Rabbit Hole was slated to run in the Backstage at The Players series under the direction of veteran of the Sarasota stage, Helen Holliday. Unfortunately, the show opened and closed the same day due to the onslaught of Covid-19. The Players Centre is happy to finally produce this wonderful work. Holliday sadly passed away earlier this year. New Artistic Director Lee Gundersheimer has taken the reigns. Holliday was a director of many past productions of The Players Centre, appearing in productions herself, and in many across the city from Manatee Performing Arts Center to the Golden Apple Dinner Theatre. This production is dedicated to her memory. 

Becca and Howie Corbett have a picture-perfect family life in the suburbs of New York until a random, tragic accident takes the life of their four-year old son. Soon after, Becca’s younger, irresponsible sister, Izzy, announces that she is pregnant. As Becca and Howie grow apart, Becca’s mother, Nat, badgers Becca about her grieving process, and Jason, the young driver who killed their son, continually shows up to ask forgiveness, the group is on a bumpy road to healing with no road map in sight. Rabbit Hole delves into the complexity of a family navigating deep grief and learning what it means to live a fruitful life when things fall apart.
