	An Encounter with Thomas Jefferson Sunday, June 28th at 2:00pm Imagine spending an hour — or more! — with our nation’s third president as he shares the story of writing our Declaration of Independence, and looks back on the people, events, and ideals of our nation's early years. What stories would you like hear? And given the chance, what questions would you like to ask? Professional actor J.D. Sutton brings Thomas Jefferson to life, inviting you to join him on Sunday, June 28th at the Glenridge Performing Arts Center for "an intimate encounter with the man who defined American independence.” In what many consider a highlight of any encounter, “Mr. Jefferson" engages the audience in an impromptu Q&A session, during which they may ask any questions they wish. His answers are often surprising, and always enlightening. Produced by the GPAC	Buy Tickets
	Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass: A Walk to Respect Saturday, August 29th at 7:30pm and Sunday, August 30th at 2:00pm In a time when our nation wrestled with division, two extraordinary leaders chose conversation over conflict. The acclaimed play Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass: A Walk to Respect, written by award-winning playwright Beth Duda with original spoken word poetry by Cedric Hameed, brings to life the historic relationship between Frederick Douglass, the fiery abolitionist and former slave, and President Abraham Lincoln, the cautious statesman determined to preserve the Union. Through their own words, the play explores how two men with different perspectives found common ground during one of the most divided times in American history. Performed across the country, the production has been presented at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., and the Sandra Day O’Connor Institute for American Democracy. This 90-minute experience includes the staged reading followed by a panel discussion with the actors and playwright. Presented by The Patterson Foundation, these Sarasota performances will precede the production’s presentation in Indianapolis in early September 2026. Admission is free, thanks to the generosity of The Patterson Foundation. Reservations are required through the Glenridge box office. Produced by The Patterson Foundation	Buy Tickets
