Welcome to the Banyan Theater Company of Sarasota, Florida!

The Banyan Theater Company mounted its first productions in the summer of 2002 – Harold Pinter’s “Betrayal” followed by George Bernard Shaw’s “Don Juan in Hell.” The company made a strong first impression with the audiences and critics alike, and was hailed as “the hottest item on the Sarasota menu.”

The following eight seasons were equally impressive as the Banyan Theater Company stayed true to its mission of producing intelligent, professional plays in the summer, showcasing the works of both classic and contemporary playwrights: “The Price” by Arthur Miller featuring David S. Howard, “Vincent in Brixton” by Nicholas Wright with Geraldine Librandi, “A Doll House” by Henrik Ibsen featuring Colleen McDonnell, “Faith Healer” by Brian Friel starring Eric Hissom, “Old Wicked Songs” by Jon Marans with Kenneth Tigar, “A Moon for the Misbegotten” by Eugene O’Neill starring Jessica K. Peterson.

The Banyan Theater Company will celebrate its 10th anniversary in the summer of 2011. Before the curtain rises on June 30, there will be numerous special events including a symposium “Celebrating the Craft and the Magic of Theater” in February, Banyan Becoming in March, and a gala at the Powel Crosley Estate in April. Join the Banyan Theater Company in a toast to its triumphs!
