The Sarasota Players is thrilled to produce the Sarasota-premiere of Green Day’s American Idiot August 7 to 18 at The Crossings at Siesta Key (3501 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34239). The two-time Tony Award-winning hit musical, based on the Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum album, explores the struggle to find oneself, grow up, battle disillusionment with the American Dream and more. Johnny, Tunny and Will struggle to find meaning in their lives in suburban America. When the three disgruntled men flee the constraints of their hometown for the thrills of city life, their paths are quickly estranged when Tunny enters the armed forces, Will is called back home to attend to familial responsibilities, and Johnny's attention becomes divided by a seductive love interest and a hazardous new friendship. An energy-fueled rock opera, American Idiot, features little dialogue and instead relies on the lyrics from Green Day's groundbreaking album to execute the story line.
