"Time and again, our caring community has demonstrated its generosity for these families and individuals during Season of Sharing."
Turnout among all age groups improved in Sarasota County this year compared to the last Presidential election, particularly those under the age of 30. But in sheer numbers, the electorate for the region remains dominated by voters age 60 and older.
That was among the data points to come out during SRQ’s Where The Votes Are workshop. While Contributing Senior Editor Jacob Ogles presented data from the 2020 election cycle on demographic turnout for the region, it was a query from a workshop attendee, Downtown Sarasota Condo Association President Patrick Gannon, that prompted the comparison with turnout from four years ago. The information was available thanks to the team at SRQ holding similar election analyses now for more than a decade.
The greatest increase in turnout as far as demographic groups between the 2016 presidential election and 2020 came in the 17- to 19-year-old voting group. Turnout rose from 58.9% four years ago to 71.7% during the election earlier this month. But it’s important to note that group of freshly registered voters is both small, and everyone who fell into that demographic in 2016 has since aged up into the 20- to 29-year-old age group. Among 20-somethings, turnout rose from 51.89% to 59.3%, a nearly 8-percentage-point leap.
On the other end of the age spectrum, turnout among centenarians leapt from 16.8% to 26.71% over four years. That means 148 Sarasota County voters older than age 100 cast ballots in this year’s election.
But the dominating force in raw numbers and turnout remains voters between age 60 and 80. In fact, 70-somethings had a greater than 90% turnout on Nov. 3, slightly higher than the 88.62% turnout recorded in 2016. With more than 62,000 60-somethings and upward of 61,000 70-somethings voting, those two decades worth of voters represented 45.7% of the electorate in the county.
Over the summer, Michael Donald Edwards, Asolo’s producing artistic director, felt it was time for arts organizations to start producing new work for the new reality. Last week, as part of the theatre’s BardWired student outreach initiative, Asolo did just that. An offshoot of the theatre’s On Tour program, BardWired takes the work of Shakespeare and adapts it to contemporary audiences, with an emphasis on student-aged thespians who might otherwise find the work outdated and irrelevant. And for the new reality, Asolo produced a 45-minute film adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream that utilizes all of the trappings of social distancing and cultural shifts to bring Shakespeare frolicking into 2020.
“If we can’t do something live and together, why not turn it into a film project?” says associate artistic director Celine Rosenthal, who masterminded the production. Easier said than done, the socially distanced film production required ingenuity to execute, and to do so, Rosenthal’s team devised a tech package to send each actor. Microphones, iPhones and a simple lighting kit ensured each scene would yield serviceable and consistent footage as each actor took charge of their own camera work. “Then they’d sign into Zoom with their personal device and I would direct them remotely while they were on location,” says Rosenthal, while the Streamyard platform was used to help properly set up the shots. Finally, Rosenthal stitched the shots together into one cohesive product, with techniques both simple and genius utilized to “create the illusion of people being in the same space,” she says.
Though the format may have been unorthodox and a tad experimental, the final cut felt accessible and clear. That clarity helped the adaptation explore other themes relevant to 2020. “The new generation has a much more sophisticated idea of gender than we do,” says Rosenthal, “and it was great to reflect that in a positive way.” The role of Titania was reprised by Alex Benito Rodriguez and saw him dressed in colorful fabrics, with bright and glittery makeup on his bearded face. Oberon, meanwhile, was played by Bonita Jackson. The characters represented a contemporary reimagining of traditional gender roles, though the concept is not entirely new. “Puck is never assigned a gender in the original text,” says Rosenthal, and she adds that female roles were reprised by males in Shakespeare’s day too.
Between its engagement with social distancing and its exploration of gender fluidity, the adaptation promises to model the kind of ingenuity and inclusivity the current generation of school-aged kids have been called to adopt. “Whenever I approach Shakespeare, I ask myself, ‘why do this today?’” says Rosenthal. “[The film] absolutely affirms that we have to start making new media for the new reality.”
The stream of Asolo’s ‘Midsummer’ film and its accompanying educational materials are available for purchase through March 13, 2021, in a variety of pricing indexed for individuals, groups, and area schools.

Booksellers have a joyous pressure to keep up with the latest books, and while I haven’t had time to tackle Jess Walters’ New York Times Best Seller Beautiful Ruins, I’m much more likely to carve out the time having just finished his new novel, The Cold Millions. To say that Walters’ historical fiction set in the early 1900’s city of Spokane is analogous to our present day strife is an understatement. Disparities in wealth distribution, labor force struggles for both satisfying work and a living wage were also problems over a century ago. In addition, terrible storms, forest fires and violent protests disheartened those of yesteryear creating a fear that the ‘end’ was near.
Yet The Cold Millions offers hope as Walters’ storytelling voice is akin to the antique gold you see in old photography, possessing retrospective beauty. Walters’ choice of using a real life women’s rights and labor union heroine, Elzabeth Gurley Flynn, who helped create the ACLU, was inspirational; her revolutionary spirit infusing the novel with joyous tenacity. The other main character, Rye Dolan, a humble itinerant worker just coming of age, adds innocence to this jaded time in history.
The novel possesses enough suspense and emotion to entertain fans of both western and classic historical fiction respectively. Intellectuals will also be titillated with Walters allusions to Tolstoy’s War and Peace, including the presciently sage quotation, ‘the strongest of all warriors are these two-time and patience’.

Most 18-year-olds celebrate their birthdays through social events planned with friends or family but Lakewood Ranch High School senior Brandon Wilson has other plans. The talented young musician, whose stage name is “Wilson B.,” will release an EP on his 18th birthday and then, two days later, present a livestream concert from the stage at the Cattlemen location of Sarasota music school Music Compound. The concert takes place on Friday, December 11, 7:30-8:30pm. The event opens with rapper Boogie 10x, who is a junior at Lakewood Ranch High, who will take the stage for a set.

Mere days after being sworn in to office, County Commissioner Kevin Van Ostenbridge called for the dismissal of County Administrator Cheri Coryea. A majority of Commissioners, including three new commissioners and Vanessa Baugh, voted to set a date of Jan. 6 to discuss termination. The move came shortly after a controversial $32.5 million land purchase of the Lena Road landfill, which was finalized days before new commissioners were sworn in. Coryea’s contract requires at least 15 days notice before a vote on her termination.
The words “Amish” and “technology” are not commonly heard together. Since 2003, DutchCrafters has been a pioneer in bridging the gap between those words as one of the first online retailers of Amish furniture. Last month, the Sarasota-based small business also became one of the first Amish furniture retailers to launch a podcast about Amish furniture. Rather than focus on DutchCrafters as a company, the purpose of the podcast is to provide fun and educational content about Amish furniture for anyone considering buying Amish or interested in the subject and glimpses into Amish life from an Amish furniture perspective.

A highlight of the 2014 Salzburg Easter Festival, this production of Arabella marks the first time Renee Fleming and Thomas Hampson have performed the opera together in its entirety. Ms. Fleming's performance in the title role has garnered enthusiastic acclaim, as the New York Times praises, she sings "with the plush sound, sublime lyricism, and dramatic subtlety that have endeared her to opera lovers." Strauss's opera captures the fleeting reverie of youth and Vienna's Golden Age through the romantic entanglements of two sisters. As Arabella finds the man of her dreams in Mandryka, this marriage is complicated by a case of mistaken identity and confused lovers. A comedy of errors in the pursuit of true love, Arabella is one of Strauss's most charming comedic operas. Arabella will run for 2 hours 47 minutes beginning at 1:30pm on November 22, 2020.

Three moving works for string quartet showcase the powerful expressive potential of these instruments in the hands of a master composer. The program opens with the single movement Quartettsatz by the 23-year old Franz Schubert. Originally composed as the opening movement of what was to be a multi-movement string quartet, the work could have been lost had Johannes Brahms not recognized its brilliance and arranged for a posthumous premiere. The centerpiece of the program is another single movement from a larger work, the iconic Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber. Composed when Barber was 26 as the second movement of his String Quartet Op. 11, the searing music is one of the most poignant in the repertoire, with many references in movies and popular culture. Anton Arensky was 31 when he dedicated his brilliant String Quartet No. 2 “to the memory of Tchaikovsky”, whose death 2 years earlier had profoundly affected Arensky. The work is unique in that it is scored for two cellos rather than two violins, lending an extra darkness to this deeply affecting music. $10 Streaming Access from November 26 through December 1.

This exhibition is open by appointment only. Please email galleries@ringling.edu to request an appointment. Back by popular demand. Famed in particular for his speed and a tendency to create images overflowing with colorful characters, Jack Davis was one of the founding members of Mad Magazine's "Usual Gang of Idiots." He supplied covers for TIME and TV Guide, designed numerous album covers and movie posters, and, over his 60-year career, became one of the most in-demand caricaturists and cartoonists in the world. This exhibition attempts to show Davis' range by bringing together a selection of his original work that demonstrates his breadth of subjects and his skills as an artist. This body of work focuses on American popular culture, diving deeper into his career than the sports and caricature work for which he is best known.

"Personal Geography represents the connection I feel for my hometown of What Cheer, Iowa. This small town with its boarded-up buildings and a melancholy that permeates the streets holds so many memories of my early life. Although I lived there for only five years, it has a hold on me that’s difficult to explain. Perhaps it’s my inherent need to belong somewhere, perhaps it’s the memories of my family who are no longer alive, or maybe it’s the place itself with its rolling hills, verdant cornfields and own distinct quality of light. More likely it’s my memory of a place where both my father and I were born, where my Grandparents and Great-Grandparents lived nearby. The map of my life extends quite far, I lived in four different states by the time I was 16. But it’s this tiny forgotten town that has a hold on me both temporal and spiritual that I don’t fully understand. Combining family snapshots with photographs I have taken in What Cheer since the 1970’s Personal Geography explores the impermanence of history and memory and the permanence of place." This exhibition is open by appointment only. Please email galleries@ringling.edu to request an appointment. This exhibit began at the Larry R. Thompson Academic Center on October 19, 2020 and will end on December 11, 2020, during museum hours.
