Get ready for a great afternoon of music and BBQ when BK’s Brightness Brigade presents a special fundraiser for The Golden Isles Penguin Project, Bands & BBQ! The fun takes place at Village Creek Landing on St. Simons Island on Sunday, February 27, 2022 beginning at 1 pm.

Brantley Kate Jones (aka BK) is an Artist with the Golden Isles Penguin Project, the musical theatre production that casts young people with disabilities in the show. This year, the Penguins will be performing Disney’s High School Musical in June 2022 and Brantley Kate, who has been performing with the group since it began in 2017, wanted to find a way to help out the production so she asked some of her musician friends if they could perform and the rest, as they say, is history!

The music will be provided by local bands, Bonnie Blue, Mason Waters and the Groove Allstars, and a very special appearance by Vic Waters. Southern Soul Barbeque will be dishing out their delicious BBQ and patrons can enjoy food, music and drink (cash bar) at the beautiful Village Creek Landing all to benefit the amazing Artists and Mentors of the Golden Isles Penguin Project.

The Penguin Project was conceived by Dr. Andrew Morgan to give young people with special needs an opportunity to participate in the performing arts. In 2017, Golden Isles Penguin Project was launched with 21 Artists and 24 Mentors. Over the past five years, the number of Artists and Mentors has grown and they have performed Annie JR, Disney’s Peter Pan, JR, Shrek, The Musical JR, a Mini-Revue during 2020, and in June 2021, Bye Bye Birdie: Young Performers Edition all to sell-out audiences.

Tickets are $50/person and are limited. All proceeds will go to the Golden Isles Penguin Project thanks to the generosity of BK’s musician friends and sponsors, Southern Soul Barbeque and Village Creek Landing. Tickets can be purchased online at goldenislesarts.org or by calling 912.262.6934. For more information, call Golden Isles Arts & Humanities at 912.262.6934 or email info@goldenislesarts.org
