Ann Morrison (Artistic Director), David A. Coyle (Managing Director), and Blake Walton (Associate Artistic Director) have recently incorporated the nonprofit Gotta Van Productions, Inc., which was initially created to produce solo plays by Morrison and Walton in both Sarasota and New York City.
Gotta Van’s vision states: “We believe in affordable theatre (in traditional and non-traditional spaces) that supports diversity, collaboration, and the transformative power of intimate theatre for both artists and audiences.”
This fall and winter, Gotta Van is producing three solo plays as part of the Fifth Annual United Solo Festival in New York City. It will soon announce a multi-weekend solo performance festival in Sarasota, to take place in early 2015.

The Manatee Players’ production of the comedy classic Morning’s at Seven by Paul Osborn has opened in the intimate Bradenton Kiwanis Theater at the Manatee Performing Arts Center and runs through Oct. 5.
Aaronetta and Ida Gibbs have lived next door to each other most of their lives and along with Esther, all of the Gibb sisters are an open book to each. Husbands not included. Into the fray comes Myrtle Brown, perpetually engaged to Ida’s son Homer. But Homer can’t seem to pop the question. Taking matters into her own hands, Myrtle finally gets a proposal by compelling Homer to fly the nest. Sort of. This perennially charming portrait of small town America fifty plus years ago was revived on Broadway in 1980 and in 2002 to critical acclaim.
