“Key Change: A Return to the Beach!” featuring Hermitage Fellows Daniel & Patrick Lazour and Mark Sonnenblick, Thursday, June 26 @ 6:30pm: We’re back on the Hermitage Beach! Hermitage Fellows and award-winning musical theater writers Daniel Lazour, Patrick Lazour, and Mark Sonnenblick have been the artists behind some of the most memorable Hermitage programs in recent memory. Fresh from his West End collaboration with Elton John on The Devil Wears Prada, Sonnenblick beguiled Hermitage audiences with an in-depth look at the elusive process by which songs are written and incorporated into a narrative musical. In a stripped-down acoustic set, the Lazour brothers presented songs from their acclaimed musical We Live in Cairo, just a few short weeks before it opened Off-Broadway – and just before hurricanes Helene and Milton brought a devastating storm surge to Manasota Key. Join these celebrated composers, lyricists, and librettists, for a triumphant return to the Hermitage’s celebrated beach programming! Registration is required at HermitageArtistRetreat.org ($5/person registration fee). Estimated running time: 60-70 minutes; The Hermitage Beach (Manasota Key), 6660 Manasota Key Road, Englewood, FL 34223
