Golden Isles Penguin Project Presents: The Music Man Jr.
2024-06-16 15:00 (America/New_York) | Historic Ritz Theatre, 1530 Newcastle Street, Brunswick, GA, 31520, United States
BRUNSWICK, GA — The Golden Isles Penguin Project, a musical theatre production that casts children and young adults with disabilities in all roles, is proud to present The Music Man JR on June 13-16, 2024 at the Historic Ritz Theatre in downtown Brunswick. Evening performances begin at 7 pm; Sunday afternoon matinee at 3 pm.
Master showman Harold Hill is in town and he’s got “seventy-six trombones” in tow. Can upright, uptight Marian, the town librarian, resist his powerful allure? The story follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize. The catch? He doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, whose belief in Harold’s power just might help him succeed in the end in spite of himself. Based on Meredith Willson’s six-time-Tony-Award-winning musical comedy, The Music Man JR. features some of musical theatre’s most iconic songs and a story filled with wit, warmth and good old-fashioned romance.
37 Artists ages 10 and up take on all the roles and are supported on stage by Mentors, young people without disabilities, who assist them as needed while participating in the performance. This is the eighth year for the Golden Isles Penguin Project and all shows have been sold out so audiences are encouraged to get their tickets soon.
The Penguin Project is the brainchild of Dr. Andrew Morgan, a Professor of Clinical Pediatrics and the former Head of the Division of Child Development at the University College of Medicine at Peoria. By creating unrestricted access to the performing arts, The Penguin Project® demonstrates that the special challenges of a disability need not handicap a child’s ability to participate in life’s experiences. In his words “Our penguins may not be able to fly, but that does not prevent their spirits from soaring.”
The Golden Isles Penguin Project is supported by Stambaugh Aviation, Georgia Council for the Arts, The Episcopal Women of Christ’s Church, Okefenoke Rural Electric Membership Corporation Foundation, The DeVito Family Foundation, Glynn Paton Foundation, The Winans Family Foundation, Cheek To Cheek Animal Hospital, Love Up with Stiles, The Pirates of the Spanish Main, Advance Rehabilitation, Jackson Bethune Music LLC, Birdies of St Simons, Brogen’s South, and individual donors in our community. Generous In-kind support has been provided by First United Methodist Church, Webb Production, next phase media, Premier Printing, The Brunswick News, and Larry’s Giant Subs-Summer Waves.
Tickets are now available for the Golden Isles Penguin Project’s production of The Music Man JR. Advance tickets for Golden Isles Arts & Humanities Members are Adults $15/Seniors $10; Nonmembers are Adults $20/Seniors $15. Day of show tickets increases by $5. The cost for students (with ID) is always $5 each.

The Sunshine Boys by Neil Simon

Al and Willie as “Lewis and Clark” were top-billed vaudevillians for over forty years. Now they aren’t even speaking. When CBS requests them for a “History of Comedy” retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries, and laughs. The story follows the attempt by a young theatrical agent to re-unite his elderly uncle, a former vaudevillian great, with his long-time stage partner for a TV reunion. Despite their celebrated reputation, the two old men have not spoken in twelve years. Besides remastering their sketch, the two men have numerous issues to work out before they are ready to return to the public eye.

Songs of Sinatra & Friends: The Joe Gransden Quartet
2024-10-13 15:00 | Historic Ritz Theatre, 1530 Newcastle Street, Brunswick, GA, 31520, United States
BRUNSWICK, GA— Golden Isles Arts and Humanities is excited to bring Songs of Sinatra & Friends with the Joe Gransden Quartet on Sunday, October 13, 2024 at 3 pm at the Historic Ritz Theatre. Enjoy a celebration of swingin’ music that has inspired generations and crossed over into many musical genres.
Renowned for the hard bop approach of his trumpet, Joe Gransden’s voice has been compared to that of Chet Baker and Sinatra. Coming from a family full of musicians, Joe’s introduction to music came early on through his father, a gifted pianist. His grandfather was a trumpeter of merit, playing professionally his whole life throughout New York. After high school, Joe was on the road as a sideman with the big bands of Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller. Eventually moving to New York City, he performed with numerous groups, including sub work with Toshiko Akiyoshi and Chico O’Farrill at the famous Birdland Jazz Club. Meanwhile, Joe formed his own quartet, which performed in Brooklyn each week and included the venerable guitarist Joe Cohn. “Having my own group and being fortunate enough to travel, play, and record has been a dream come true,” says Joe.
A widening schedule has found Joe performing 300+ gigs per year throughout the country at venues such as The Jazz Corner in Hilton Head, Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Dizzy’s Jazz Club, The Blue Note New York & Tehema Golf Club in California (where Joe plays events for Clint Eastwood). In 2016 Joe was honored to accept the Jazz Hero Award for his continuation to the Atlanta Jazz Scene and his dedication to students both through his teaching at Georgia State University and his yearly Jazz Camp for Kids.
Step back in time with Songs of Sinatra & Friends with The Joe Gransden Quartet on Sunday, October 13, 2024 at 3:00 pm and their sound that is at once familiar but also fresh and vibrant, appealing to music lovers of all ages. Tickets are $15 for adult members of Golden Isles Arts and Humanities, $10 for senior members (65+), $20 adult non-members, and $15 senior non-members. Prices on the day of show increase by $5. Ticket prices for students are only $5. Advance tickets may be purchased in person at the Ritz or by phone with a credit card (912-262-6934) or at goldenislesarts.org. The Ritz box office is open Tues-Fri 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Ritz Theatre is located at 1530 Newcastle St., in downtown Brunswick.

Cinema Gourmet: Rebecca
2024-10-17 18:30 | Historic Ritz Theatre, 1530 Newcastle Street, Brunswick, GA, 31520, United States
CINEMA GOURMET SCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY OCTOBER 10, 2024 POSTPONED

With the threat of potential flooding and wind damage from Hurricane Milton forecast for Wednesday evening – Thursday, Golden Isles Arts & Humanities is postponing it’s Cinema Gourmet screening of Rebecca, scheduled for Thursday, October 10th until the following Thursday, October 17. All current ticket reservations will be honored for the new date.

Based on Daphne du Maurier’s 1939 novel of the same name, Rebecca is the story of young woman who marries a fascinating widower only to find out that she must live in the shadow of his former wife, Rebecca, who died mysteriously several years earlier. The young wife (Joan Fontaine) must come to grips with the terrible secret of her handsome, cold husband, Maxim De Winter (Laurence Olivier) and deal with the jealous, obsessed Mrs. Danvers (Judith Anderson), the housekeeper, who will not accept her as the mistress of the house. A Gothic fairy-tale with suspense created by character more than actions, Rebecca is the only film of Hitchcock’s to win the Best Picture Oscar.
Cinema Gourmet will offer five more screenings during the season: Walt Disney’s second animated and award winning feature, Pinocchio on November 14; Blade Runner, Ridley Scott’s dystopian futuristic thriller; Fences starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis on February 13; John Wayne and James Stewart in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance on March 13; and the film that made us all afraid to go swimming, Jaws, directed by Steven Spielberg on April 10.

This long-running Off Broadway absurdist comedy places Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in a Parisian cafe in 1904, just before the renowned scientist transformed physics with his theory of relativity and the celebrated painter set the art world afire with cubism. In his first comedy for the stage, the popular actor and screenwriter plays fast and loose with fact, fame, and fortune as these two geniuses muse on the century’s achievements and prospects, as well as other fanciful topics, with infectious dizziness. Bystanders, including Picasso’s agent, the bartender and his mistress, Picasso’s date, an elderly philosopher, Charles Dabernow Schmendiman, and an idiot inventor introduce additional flourishes of humor. The final surprise patron to join the merriment at the Lapin Agile is a charismatic dark-haired singer, time-warped in from a later era.
