The programs feature industry-leading and award-winning playwrights\, visual artists\, musicians\, poets\, choreographers\, and more  \nHermitage Sunsets @ Benderson Park: “Making Songs and Making Sense\,” featuring Hermitage Fellow Michael R. Jackson\, Thursday\, April 30 @ 6:30pm \nPulitzer 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.  \nReturning Hermitage Fellow Michael R. Jackson was named as one of Time Magazine‘s “100 Most Influential People” of 2022. His Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical A Strange Loop received 11 Tony Award nominations and was called “a full-on laparoscopy of the heart\, soul\, and loins” as well as a “gutsy\, jubilantly anguished musical with infectious melodies” by The New York Times. In addition to A Strange Loop\, Jackson also wrote book\, music\, and lyrics for White Girl in Danger\, the book and lyrics for Teeth\, and the libretto for the opera Complications In Sue\, which had its world premiere at Opera Philadelphia in 2026. Awards and associations include: a New Professional Theatre Festival Award\, a Jonathan Larson Grant\, a Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Award\, an ASCAP Foundation Harold Adamson Award\, a Whiting Award\, the Helen Merrill Award for Playwriting\, an Outer Critics Circle Award\, a Drama Desk Award\, an Obie Award\, a Fred Ebb Award\, a Windham-Campbell Prize\, a Dramatist Guild Fellowship\, and a Hermitage Fellowship. Jackson is an alum of Page 73’s Interstate 73 Writers Group. \n  URL:https://nathanbendersonpark.org/event/hermitage-sunsets-making-songs-making-sense/ CATEGORIES:Music,Recurring Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nathanbendersonpark.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Hermitage-scaled-e1753120733293.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260502T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260502T170000 DTSTAMP:20260509T183821 CREATED:20250804T155927Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250804T160102Z UID:2030003212-1777708800-1777741200@nathanbendersonpark.org SUMMARY:SUP & Run 5K DESCRIPTION:Three great races\, world-class venue\, awesome shirts\, custom 4″ finisher medals\, CHALLENGE coins\, great prizes\, spectacular post-race party and more! \nThe 11th Annual SUP & RUN 5K event will be held at Nathan Benderson Park to benefit RUCK9 (www.RUCK9.com) with partial proceeds going to Operation Second Chance (www.OperationSecondChance/com). \nThe SUP & RUN 5K gives athletes three great races in one to choose from. \n\n5K RUN\n5K Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) OR\n5K SUP & 5K RUN\n(There is a start line mat (chip) for the combination SUP & RUN)\n\nAthletes participating in the combination SUP & RUN will run the 5K first and then hop on their paddle board for a 5K paddle around Nathan Benderson Park.  The SUP & RUN 5K draws top runners and SUP’ers who compete for cash prizes but it’s our not-so-serious athletes who have the most prominent place in the event.\n\nAthletes participating in the SUP portion of the race MUST know how to swim.  If you are not able to swim\, you may not participate in the SUP portion.\n\nThe SUP & RUN 5K is a family style event.\n\nWALKERS ARE WELCOME and encouraged to attend.\n\nWhy choose the SUP & RUN 5K? \n\nEvery finisher receives a custom finisher medal.\nThe race shirts are AMAZING!\nAWARDS GO 6 DEEP IN EACH 5 YEAR AGE GROUP!\nSWAG\, to quote a participant\, “this race SWAG is truly head and shoulders above most races“\nThe food & post-race celebration party is FUN!
