Venice Little Theatre

Ok, we give points for trying here, but not many. Young performers in absolutely the worst costuming of this production I have ever seen. And a much too drawn out death scene - over the top. Venice Theatre used to be really good fun and not bad drama when it was the "Little" Theatre, Sadly, over the years it has somehow become a theatre where casting seems to be from the same pool of favorites, possibly chosen because their kids take for acting classes there. This wouldn't be so bad if the prices weren't as much or more than the professional theatres in Sarasota, but is not worth the admission now charged. If you go, don't expect much & you may find it enjoyable. But, really, for the money, if you want Genuine Theatre, go elsewhere. more

I recently saw a production of No Sex Please Were British at the community theater in Venice, Fl. It’s just over the bridge to the Venice Island for those coming from afar. This charming little farce was good for an evening of chuckles and a few gasps a shock. Set in the Austin Powers smashin’ sixties London, it tells the tale of a newly married couple who accidently receives some unwanted porn. Attempting to hide it, comedy ensues. I recommend it highly. more
