Arts & Entertainment
Not only are there huge icons in Sarasota, almost every community in the area has its own local theatre - a playhouse.
You can also experience first-rate performances of current Braodway shows as well as venerable favorites.
Your own involvement in creating art is encouraged through a number of galleries and, in particular, the two Art Centers - one in Sarasota County and one in Manatee County (Bradenton).
