Event Details

Treasure Maps: The Georgia Storytelling Roadshow a pop-up, interactive, drive-in theater that will include live local hosts, installations, and safe interactive activities will be holding a free event in Savannah on Friday, June 25 at 7:30 p.m. at Old Roberds Dairy Farm located at 2500 Tennessee Avenue. Attendees can register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/treasure-maps-the-georgia-storytelling-roadshow-savannah-night-tickets-156031367019?utm_source=eventbrite&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=post_publish&utm_content=shortLinkNewEmail

Each show will feature the film screening of Treasure Maps, a collection of 10 Georgia Storytellers’ Life Maps which provide an up-close and personal viewpoint on navigating life as a person with a developmental disability. Guyton resident and Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society board Vice President Michael E. Holton, Jr. will be featured as one of the ten storytellers from across Georgia.

In the event of inclement weather, the event will switch to an online format.

The Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society will be participating in this event in partnership with the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities, L’Arche Atlanta, StoryMuse, and Resurgens Impact Counseling.

This project aims to bring the community together while observing current safety and social distancing practices in light of the current pandemic. It will also shed light on the current issue sitting before Georgia State Senate and Congress regarding the years-long Medicaid waiver waitlist. Currently, members of the disabled community are unable to obtain crucial services without access to funding.

Shannon M. Turner, creative director of the project, says “We want to provide a virtual stage for the important stories of people with developmental disabilities, inviting their stories in from the margins to the center of our communities. But an equally important component is to provide education and advocacy to the general population and legislators around the Medicaid waiver, a vital funding structure which supports the lives of people with developmental disabilities so they can live independently.”

Each show will be produced in collaboration with local community members and will be co-hosted by a storyteller (the “Show Marshal”); a local community member; and a Treasure Maps team member. The show will run approximately an hour and a half and will include interaction with the co-hosts and an invitation to direct advocacy action. The tour will also be making stops in Dahlonega, Athens, Macon, Columbus, and Atlanta.

ABOUT THE GEORGIA COUNCIL OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES (GCDD) STORYTELLING PROJECT
In 2018 and 2019, the Georgia Council of Developmental Disabilities (GCDD) teamed up with talented writers and photographers who set out across the state to collect some great stories about people with developmental disabilities to create The Storytelling Project. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Storytelling Project responded with season two of the podcast Hidden Voices focusing on the experience of social distancing. Their Over the Wire video project collected and dispersed stories virtually. In 2021 they introduced Treasure Maps: The Georgia Storytelling Roadshow, a pop-up, interactive, drive-in theatre production.

Event Details

Savannah’s Waterfront has announced they will host the annual Independence Day Fireworks Show on Sunday, July 4th at 9:15 pm.

“There’s always a reason to come down to Savannah’s Waterfront, but we are especially excited about this show as it’s the first event we’ve hosted in over a year,” said Julie Musselman, Executive Director. “Fireworks shows are always the highlight of July 4th, and we are thrilled to bring this free event to our community.”

As we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, the show is not only entertaining but also symbolic of our freedom in the United States. There will be several opportunities to celebrate our nation’s birthday on Savannah’s Waterfront, including live entertainment at Plant Riverside District, dinner and drink specials at many waterfront restaurants, and the Freedom Floats boat parade. Merchants are looking forward to having spectators enjoy the many shopping and dining options along the waterfront over the holiday weekend.

On July 4th, the City of Savannah will be offering a flat rate of $5 parking in city garages and the Savannah Convention Center will offer $5 self-parking. Note that parking at the Savannah Convention Center is limited due to construction and the building will not be open. Spectators on the waterfront are encouraged to bring chairs and blankets; however, coolers are discouraged.

Savannah’s Waterfront wishes to thank the sponsors of this year’s show: Budweiser, City of Savannah, Falcon Fireworks, Plant Riverside District, Savannah Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce, T-Mobile, Visit Savannah, and Yates-Astro.
