Stage, Page, and Useful Rage

“Stage, Page, and Useful Rage” with Hermitage Fellows Julia Jordan and Xochitl Gonzalez, Friday, April 5, 6:30pm: Some artists adapt their art to get produced and noticed in the industry, but innovators like Hermitage Fellows Julia Jordan and Xochitl Gonzalez change the industry itself. Julia Jordan co-founded The Lilly’s, an organization dedicated to gender and racial parity in the American theater and served as its Executive President while creating such acclaimed theater works as Murder Ballad. Xochitl Gonzalez is a staff writer for The Atlantic, where she was honored as a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2023, and author of The New York Times bestselling novel Olga Dies Dreaming. Through both the works they create themselves and their advocacy for fellow artists, these two women are shaping our future world through their art and their words. Julia Jordan’s Hermitage Residency generously sponsored by Gerald & Sondra Biller. Xochitl Gonzalez’s Hermitage Residency generously sponsored by Liz & Duncan Richardson. Registration is required at HermitageArtistRetreat.org ($5/person registration fee). Hermitage Beach, 6660 Manasota Key Road, Englewood, FL 34223
