Annual Benefit

Prepare to rock the night away with Shadows of the 60s, an electrifying, interactive production that celebrates the unforgettable sound and legacy of Motown’s supergroups like The Supremes and The Temptations. With top-tier musicians, dazzling choreography, and stunning costumes, this show brings the magic of Motown to life. You’ll be swept away by the hits of legends like Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and more.

An Experience
This year’s benefit is more than just a night of music—it’s an experience that perfectly combines the essence of Motown and the charm of Sanibel Island. Like the island’s timeless beauty, Motown’s rich musical heritage stands the test of time, creating an unforgettable atmosphere where joy, nostalgia, and community come together.

Just as Sanibel’s legacy is preserved through its natural splendor, Motown’s legacy continues to resonate through its influential sound. Together, we invite you to celebrate that legacy in a way only BIG ARTS can deliver – with a dynamic event that promises an experience of creativity, joy, and cultural celebration. Let loose, dance, and feel the power of Motown while surrounded by the beauty and inspiration of Sanibel Island.

A Great Night of Fun, Food & Frivolity

Kick off the night with pre-show open bar cocktails and mingling, followed by a sumptuous supper buffet. Enjoy a post-show dessert spread and hit the dance floor to keep the party going!
