Welcome to 2011

I hope everyone had a great holiday season.  It is now out with the old and in with the new.  2011 looks to be a great year!!

Well, after enjoying freezing weather, I feel like we are getting back to normal here in Sarasota.  I only hope that the fish did not suffer as badly this year as they did last year when cold weather settled into our area.  Fishing is on my radar, but not until next week.  I will try to provide an update.

It is my hope this year to delve into lots of topics.  It might get boring to just talk about the water and all that it provides for those who really enjoy the water all the time.

Today, I wanted to highlight a different aspect of Sarasota living: theater.  Sarasota was recently recognized in the Wall Street Journal's "Best Theater of 2010" list.  Quite a feat for a small city such as ours.  I have attached a list of the upcoming productions that will be on tap for 2011.  Enjoy!



Asolo Rep’s Life of Galileo Makes Wall Street Journal’s “Best Of 2010 List”The December 24, 2010 issue of the Wall Street Journal named Asolo Rep’s production of Life of Galileo in its annual “Best Theatre of 2010” list. Terry Treachout, WSJ drama critic mentioned “…the best-designed show I've seen in ages, Michael Donald Edwards's modern-dress production of Bertolt Brecht's Life of Galileo at Asolo Rep in Sarasota, Fla. (sets and costumes by Clint Ramos, digital projections by Dan Scully, lighting by Peter West and music by Fabian Obispo).” Life of Galileo shared the WSJ list with several Broadway and Off-Broadway productions as well as shows from Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre and Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut.
