Nathan Benderson Park

Hermitage Sunsets @ Benderson Park: “Making Songs and Making Sense,” featuring Hermitage Fellow Michael R. Jackson, Thursday, April 30, 6:30pm: Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright, composer, and Hermitage Fellow Michael R. Jackson exploded into the public consciousness with the premiere of his celebrated musical A Strange Loop, which transferred to Broadway after an acclaimed run at Playwrights Horizons. The New York Times described Jackson’s work as “so unexpected, contrarian, and maximalist that I spend a lot of time between them wondering what he’ll do next” – so if you’re in the audience at this Hermitage program, you might just get a ‘sneak peek’ of what that will be! A returning Hermitage Fellow, Jackson has previously shared selections from A Strange Loop and his musical White Girl in Danger with Hermitage audiences. This time, Jackson will offer insight into his latest work and his creative process. Presented in partnership with Nathan Benderson Park Conservancy. Registration is required at HermitageArtistRetreat.org ($5/person registration fee). Nathan Benderson Park, 5851 Nathan Benderson Circle, Sarasota, FL 34235

Mote Science Education Aquarium (SEA)

In an effort to support mental wellness and reduce the stigma of seeking help, nonprofit organization Sunshine From Darkness has announced its 2026 “Step Into the Light Mental Health Summit.” The event – which costs $25, including all sessions and lunch – takes place on Saturday, May 2, 8:30 a.m.-2 p.m. at Mote SEA (Science Education Aquarium), located at 225 University Town Center Drive, near Nathan Benderson Park. The Summit, purposefully scheduled during Mental Health Awareness Month, is designed to empower attendees with practical coping skills, tools to support mental wellness in our community, and inspiration to break the stigma surrounding mental illness. Mental health practitioners, those working in a mental health-adjacent field, or individuals whose life has been impacted by mental illness – their own or a loved one - are especially encouraged to attend. This year’s Summit will center on the shared human experiences that shape our emotional wellbeing — grief, trauma, family challenges, and the everyday stressors that impact our mental health. Through speaker sessions on mindfulness, coping skills, interactive experiences, and the healing power of music therapy, the summit will create a safe, inclusive space for individuals and families to learn, connect, and strengthen their resilience. Keynote speakers will be Johnny Crowder, a suicide and abuse survivor, touring musician, certified Peer Recovery Specialist, public advocate for mental health awareness, and founder of Cope Notes; and Jerod Ward, a former professional basketball player, TEDx and motivational speaker, college basketball analyst for networks including ESPN and Fox Sports, and founder of JW Global Speaks, LLC. Presenting Sponsors are Jeffrey Peterson, Gulf Coast Community Foundation and Grace Community Church. Silver Sponsor is Sage Therapeutics.

Environmental Cleaning, Odor Removal + Water Damage Services

Sarasota Flood

You cleaned, aired it out, maybe even painted… but something still lingers. That smell isn’t random. It’s coming from inside your home. Most homes look clean. Very few are environmentally reset. Air systems, materials, and surfaces carry years of living — moisture, odor, and microscopic buildup that standard cleaning doesn’t remove. Most homes aren’t clean… they’re just covered up. At Sarasota Flood, we identify and stabilize the source — not mask symptoms. Our process focuses on what’s actually happening inside the property, then applying targeted treatment to restore the environment properly. We work with homeowners, realtors, and property professionals who want clarity, not guesswork. Because a home shouldn’t just look clean… it should feel right the moment you walk in.
