The Players Centre for Performing Arts opens its 93rd Season with a celebration of Stephen Sondheim, the late musical theatre genius that gave us Into the Woods, Company and Sweeney Todd. Side by Side by Sondheim runs from Sept.8 to 18, 2022 at Studio 1130 located in the Crossings at Siesta Key mall (3501 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota). Featuring music from Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and Anyone Can Whistle, not to mention the classics written with musical theatre giants, Leonard Bernstein, Jule Styne and Richard Rodgers, this dazzling array of some of Sondheim's best-known songs demonstrates his masterful craft and astounding creativity. Presented in the round, this production is the first to showcase the new audience configuration. The Players is thrilled to provide a unique audience experience to the Sarasota community.
