A JEWEL-OF-A-THEATRE . . . EASY TO GET TO - EASY TO LOVE!

The multi-million dollar Glenridge Performing Arts Center on Palmer Ranch is the newest and brightest jewel-of-a-theater in Sarasota, Florida. From its picturesque setting to its elegant, yet modern interior design, it is destined to be a major player in the area's repertoire of performance venues.  The GPAC plays a huge role in the Life Fulfilling Community model because it provides members with an opportunity for lifelong learning and continuing involvement in the community.  Features of the GPAC include:

• An intimate 260-seat auditorium
• A $750,000 state-of-the-art lighting and sound system
• A proscenium stage
• Two large dressing rooms with showers
• Wheelchair accessibility
• Headsets for the hearing impaired
• Lectern
• Freshly baked cookies at intermission (wine, too)
• Large multi-purpose movie screen
• A brand-new Schimmel grand piano

The venue is also one of the few facilities in the Sarasota area available for professional presentations.
