Asolo Repertory Theatre has announced the developmental workshop and staged reading of Jennifer Maisel's new play Provenance, directed by Casey Stangl. The closed reading will take place Sunday, May 4, 2025, at 1:30 pm at Asolo Rep's Weiler Rehearsal Hall located in the Koski Production Center, 1009 Tallevast Rd, Sarasota, FL 34243.
Maisel's play is inspired by the form of Arthur Schnitzler's controversial play La Ronde, written in 1897. Provenance is about the epic life of a single painting, a portrait, from the moment of its creation through its theft by the Nazis and subsequent travels around the world.
Canvas. Pencil. Paint. How can one piece of art tear at the hearts of generations?
Peter Rothstein, Asolo Repertory Theatre's Producing Artistic Director stated “Asolo Rep continues its dedication to developing new work, by providing a home for our esteemed contemporary playwrights.” Rothstein continues, “Jennifer Maisel's fascinating play centers on a work of art that sends us on an epic journey across time and space.”
