This study focuses upon the history of the Asolo Theatre from its creation in Asolo, Italy, through its re-creation in Sarasota, Florida, and its subsequent history to the year 1967. Various conceptions for different uses of the Theatre, productions, administrative development and the legal and administrative structure of the Asolo State Theatre are explored. Technical Appendices supplement the text with copies of heretofore unpublished documents pertinent to this history. Annual financial statements, comparative annual statistics, photographs of productions, and lists of plays and personnel are also included in the appendices. / Specific highlights of this work include: (a) a detailed explanation of the metamorphosis of the Asolo Theatre into the State Theatre of Florida; (b) the history of the relationship between the Asolo Theatre and Florida State University; (c) an analysis of the unique system of theatre administration created to develop the Asolo State Theatre; and (d) a discussion of the Asolo Theatre's importance as one of the first university-related, regional theatres. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 43-12, Section: A, page: 3755. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1982.
