BUY TICKETS NOW
Riverside Theatre Works and the Hyde Park Creative Connector proudly present Spotlight on the Candidates: The Art and Humanity of Boston Politics on Saturday, October 11 at 7:00 PM.
This festive, one-of-a-kind evening gives Boston City Council and Mayoral candidates the opportunity to connect with the community through the power of the performing arts. Participants will take the stage to express their values and personalities through spoken word, music, dance, comedy, skits—even magic.
Far from a traditional debate or town hall, Spotlight on the Candidates is a lighthearted, nonpartisan celebration that highlights the creativity, character, and humanity of those seeking public office. It’s an invitation to experience politics from a new perspective—one that emphasizes art, community, and shared joy.
This marks the fourth installment of the event, previously held at Riverside Theatre Works in 2003, 2005, and 2009. Past performances have included poetry readings, bongo drumming, and even tap dancing. It’s not a talent show—it’s a civic tradition that honors both the democratic process and the performing arts as cornerstones of vibrant community life.

Man On Land
2025-12-12 19:00 - 21:00 | The Menino Arts Center, 26 Central Ave, Hyde Park, MA, 02136, United States
Man On Land is a Boston-based jazz trio consisting of pianist Brian Friedland, bassist Greg Loughman, and drummer Austin McMahon. Since forming in 2009, the group has performed nearly a hundred originals and imaginative arrangements, releasing three critically praised albums. Their sound is defined by deep collaboration, dynamic group interplay, and a spirit of spontaneity—reflected even in their name, which combines the last syllables of each member’s name.
Over the past 15 years, Man On Land has cultivated a loyal following through engaging and uplifting performances at more than a dozen Boston venues and concert series, including The Mad Monkfish, The Beehive, Jazz Sundays at the Square Root, and the Eliot Schoolyard Series. Their 2025 album release concert with Mandorla Music was a sold-out event.
Man On Land’s latest album, Echo the Hills (April 2025), features acclaimed saxophonist Lihi Haruvi, whose stunning tone and captivating playing have made her an in-demand artist across the globe. The album highlights the group’s versatility and imagination, drawing inspiration from a wide spectrum of influences—including Chick Corea, Ornette Coleman, Nirvana, and Cole Porter—while showcasing the quartet’s vibrant connection. All four musicians are faculty at Berklee College of Music, with Loughman and Haruvi also teaching at Berklee’s Global Jazz Institute.
