FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training, one of the top actor training programs in the country, announces a delay to the start of The Curious Savage due to Hurricane Milton that recently canceled rehearsals. The Curious Savage will now open to previews on Tuesday, November 5 and open on Friday, November 8 and close on Sunday, November 24.
"In the wake of Hurricane Milton, we have decided to delay our opening of The Curious Savage, thus providing our graduate acting students the time and space necessary to build the best show possible for this community. We all deserve a slice of life unscathed by the storm!," said Interim Conservatory Director, Marcus Denard Johnson, who also is directing the show.

November 8 – November 24, 2024
Previews November 5 – 7
Presented in the Cook Theatre
Delight in the hilarious and bittersweet story of Mrs. Savage, an eccentric millionairess, whose love of theatre and desire to help others cause her stepchildren to commit her to “The Cloisters,” a mental asylum for recovering patients, and of the unlikely new friends she makes there. At the end of this brilliant comedy, you won’t help but share in Mrs. Savage’s discovery that the cut-throat world of hypocrisy and greed outside of “The Cloisters” is more insane than the gentle commune inside its walls!

About FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training
Considered one of the top actor training programs in the country, the FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training is a three-year graduate program culminating in a Master of Fine Arts degree. Only twelve students are chosen each year from the thousands who audition nationwide to work in a program that combines rigorous classroom training with guest artist workshops and professional production experience. Graduates of our program have appeared on and off Broadway, in regional theatres, in feature films and on television.
The program was initiated by the Florida State University School of Theatre in Tallahassee in 1968 and moved to Sarasota five years later to establish a permanent relationship with the Asolo Repertory Theatre. Visit https://www.asolorep.org/
