Welcome to the Banyan Theater Company of Sarasota, Florida!

Great theater broadens the mind and opens the heart. It helps us look at life’s issues with understanding and compassion. Great theater is engrossing. It propels us along by telling an interesting story we increasingly care about. Great theater has a beauty and eloquence that must be honored while it touches our deepest sense of truth. Ultimately, great theater satisfies in a way no other experience can.

The Banyan Theater Company, located on Florida’s cultural coast, continues its mission to produce professional theater in the summer. In the beginning, many said a company like this – producing plays of literary merit in the summer – would never work. But here we are, now entering our ninth season, and better than ever!

Our vision is to maintain a summer theater festival in Sarasota to rival similar attractions in other areas of the country.

We are grateful to you, dear audience, for your continued interest in and support of our distinctive theater company!
