“Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” movie & Pee-wee Herman look-alike contest to benefit ailing Savannah musician & new dad, Lucas Theatre, Sept. 27

Friday, September 19th, 2014

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure screening in Savannah to benefit Savannah father, musicianThe Lucas Theatre in downtown Savannah proudly presents famed director Tim Burton’s feature film debut: the beloved, family-friendly comedy Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, starring Paul Reubens as the iconic, perpetually childlike Pee-wee Herman. Rated PG. 92 minutes.

7 PM Sat. Sept. 27 2014
Lucas Theatre, 32 Abercorn St. Savannah 31401

Special Benefit for Ailing Local Musician Keith Kozel

This special screening is a benefit for area musician, songwriter, new father, and longtime Vinnie Van Go-Go’s employee Keith Kozel (frontman for Savannah rock bands Superhorse and GAM), who, despite an extremely healthy lifestyle was diagnosed five years ago with Type 2 MPGN, a degenerative kidney disease.

After a debilitating stroke and over 20 visits to both the Mayo Clinic and Emory Hospital, both of his kidneys are now in the final stages of failure. Keith has been forced to leave his job and now requires dialysis to survive.

He is in desperate need of a kidney transplant, but insurance will only cover a tiny fraction of the approximately $350,000 required for such a procedure.

This screening is the first in a series of public fundraisers for Keith. 100% of all proceeds from both voluntary donations at the door –you may give whatever you can– and raffle tickets (for valuable items to be given away before the show) will go straight to his ongoing medical expenses.

Keith is the husband of Carrie Christian, owner of Scribble Art Studio in Savannah/Pooler. They have a 1-year-old daughter, Zelia.

Admission is free, with a suggested voluntary donation of at least $5 for kids and $10 for adults — 100% of which goes directly to Keith’s medical fund.

Pee-wee Herman Look-alike Contest

There will also be a Pee-wee Herman Look-alike Contest with a team of judges awarding prizes to three winners (adult male, adult female, and child under 12) with the best Pee-wee costume.

Please make plans to attend this fun night of charity and laughter, and bring some friends. Help pack the Lucas for Keith — a local original!

Pee-wee’s Big Adventure

An unexpected box-office smash when first released, this hilarious and head-scratchingly surreal motion picture has –in the intervening years– become a bona fide cult classic. Unfortunately, many people have never had the opportunity to see it as it was intended: on the big screen.

Co-written by Reubens and the late, great Saturday Night Live star Phil Hartman, and boasting a score by the Oscar-nominated Danny Elfman, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure follows snarky, idiosyncratic man-child Pee-wee Herman on an epic, cross-country quest to find and rescue his most prized possession: his custom-made, fire engine-red bicycle. Along the way, he encounters an endless parade of oddball characters, visits the Alamo, and learns an awful lot about life, friendship, and love.

Please make plans to attend this fun night of charity and laughter, and bring some friends. Help pack the Lucas for Keith — a local original!

Don’t miss Happy Half Hour before every Lucas movie. From 6-6:30 enjoy half price beer and popcorn specials.

The Jewel Conservatory Theatre in Rincon is so excited to be able to offer this exciting program to your kids. Classes will be 45 minutes long & will be at the theatre on Tuesdays at 5 p.m.

Classes will run October 21st, 2014-May 12th, 2015, meeting on Tuesdays at 5 PM. Classes are free.

In December, all participants will travel to downtown Savannah to see the McIntosh County Shouters, Jimmy Wolling Band & Kim Polote perform at the Lucas Theatre for the Arts.

In Spring of 2015, participating kids will see performances by Rebecca Flaherty, Huxsie Scott & Eric Culberson at Armstrong State University’s Fine Arts Auditorium.

Attention K-2 teachers, homeschool groups: apply for Savannah Music Festival’s FREE Musical Explorers program

Wednesday, August 13th, 2014

homeschool resources programs in SavannahTeachers & homeschool groups, have you applied yet for Musical Explorers, Savannah Music Festival’s new partnership with Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute?

Musical Explorers has been a huge hit with New York City schools, and in 2014-15 Savannah Music Festival will be the first organization in the nation to adapt Musical Explorers for a community outside of New York.

Deadline to apply has been extended to Mon. Aug. 18. More information on the program and an application for 2014-15 can be found  by clicking here.

Musical Explorers is a K-2 arts education program where students learn about their community, their city, their state and all the diverse musical styles that can be found in Georgia and the southeast. They also learn basic music skills and vocabulary. During the 2014-2015 school year, students explore various music styles including blues, classical, African-American spirituals, jazz, Slave Shouts, and bluegrass, embarking on a musical journey through the cultures found in and around Savannah.

For each genre of music, the students are “introduced” to a local artist, and songs and activities associated with the artist (3 artists per semester, 6 artists total). At the end of each semester, students meet the musicians they’ve learned about in the classroom live on stage, performing the songs from the curriculum in an interactive concert.

Click here watch a brief video, with footage put together by Carnegie Hall, that gives you the teacher’s perspective. (Just imagine your students going to the Lucas Theatre for the concert instead of Carnegie Hall!)

Some more program features:
*Two interactive concerts (fall and spring) per year in downtown Savannah featuring mulitcultural vocalists
*Two professional development workshops for participating teachers (fall and spring)
*An online, interactive Teacher Guide with accompanying musical excerpts, featuring lessons and creative extensions for yearlong coursework, geared toward both music and general classroom teachers
*Online, printable student activities

This program is absolutely free for participating schools!
