The Sarasota Players presents Green Day’s American Idiot Contact Name: Amanda Heisey Contact Email: amandah@theplayers.org Contact Phone Number: 9413652494 The Sarasota Players is thrilled to produce the Sarasota-premiere of Green Day’s American Idiot August 7 to 18 at The Crossings at Siesta Key (3501 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34239). The two-time Tony Award-winning hit musical, based on the Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum album, boldly takes the American musical where it's never gone before. Synopsis: Johnny, Tunny and Will struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world. When the three disgruntled men flee the constraints of their hometown for the thrills of city life, their paths are quickly estranged when Tunny enters the armed forces, Will is called back home to attend to familial responsibilities, and Johnny's attention becomes divided by a seductive love interest and a hazardous new friendship. An energy-fueled rock opera, American Idiot, features little dialogue and instead relies on the lyrics from Green Day's groundbreaking album to execute the story line. Warnings: Adult language, adult situations, violence, strobe, haze Dates: August 7-10 and 14-17 at 7:30pm August 11 and 18 at 2pm Location: 3501 S.
