Downtown Sarasota's Urbanite Theatre has announced its 2024-2025 season lineup, a program that includes three regional premieres and the world premiere of a new work.

"Welcome to season 11," Urbanite Theatre artistic director Summer Wallace wrote in an email. "From the relentless demands of caregiving to adrenaline-pumping solitude and profound human connection, the remarkable stories of Season 11 will stretch the boundaries of what great theatre can accomplish."

In addition to its mainstage performances, Urbanite's Modern Works Festival returns in September, featuring a playwriting contest, reading festival and a celebration of women in theater that culminates in an audience roundtable discussion.
