The concert begins at 7 p.m. (concluding at 9 p.m.) at the St. Simons Lighthouse Lawn. The quality and style of Johnnie Eason’s three-octave range is creative, dynamic, and soul stirring. Admission is $10 per person; ages 6-12 are $5 and kids under 6 get in free. Individual tick ets are purchased at the gate only on the night of each concert. Jazz in the Park 2008 is sponsored in part by the Best Western Island Johnnie Eason will perform at Jazz in the Park on Inn. Additional shows July 27. Local kids shine in musical revue More than 60 aspiring Broadway stars, ages five to 18, light up the Ritz Theatre stage in a musical revue that showcases all their hard work in the first-ever Summer Musical Theatre Camp offered by Golden Isles Arts and Humanities Association (GIAHA). “Give My Regards to Broadway” is an all-singing, all-dancing revue that features the young campers in GIAHA’s new program, under the direction of Julia Nolan and choreographed by Traci Mattea Sproull. Public performances at the Ritz in Downtown Brunswick are scheduled Friday, July 25, at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Saturday, July 26, at 1 p.m. Admission is $3. GIAHA has offered acting on stage theatre camps for young people for a decade, taught by professional actress and GIAHA Executive Director Heath er Heath. In 2007, Heath connected with Julia Nolan, a professional actor- singer-dancer who has recently relo cated to the Golden Isles after several years touring the world with many top acts and appearing in television com mercials (including the singing voice of the Maybelline ads). Nolan was eager to communicate her skills to aspiring stage performers in the area, and the idea for a musi cal camp was bom. Nolan brought in dancer-teacher Traci Mattea Sproull, owner of Studio South, a dance instruc tion studio also located in Downtown Brunswick, to help teach the camp and mold the show. Response to the intensive two-week camp was tremendous, with more than 60 kids signing up. As a result, Nolan and Sproull have been grateful for the volunteer assistance provided by some of the campers’ parents, as well as some of Studio South’s older dance students. “Give My Regards to Broadway” will feature about 20 well-known numbers from the musical stage, including songs from the plays Wicked, Cabaret, Oliver, West Side Story, and The Sound of Music.
