Come Home for the Holidays — Celebrate the Season and Support Paine College

This December, experience a dazzling evening of music, movement, and meaning at Home for the Holidays @ Paine College—a benefit performance that brings together world-class talent and community spirit in support of Paine College’s next chapter of growth in Augusta.

Headlining the evening is Augusta’s own Russell Joel Brown, a Morehouse College alum whose career has spanned Broadway and the globe. From starring in Disney’s The Lion King across five countries to performing in Smokey Joe’s CaféThe Scarlet PimpernelBig River, and Ain’t Misbehavin’, Russell’s artistry is unmatched. He’s sung at state funerals for legends like Arthur Ashe and Thurgood Marshall, and his signature show From Mozart to Motown has sold out every performance in Augusta for over twenty years.

This year’s benefit concert promises a breathtaking lineup:

  • An 85-voice choiropens with John Rutter’s Candlelight Carol, followed by soul-stirring renditions of Kirk Franklin’s O Come All Ye Faithful and John P. Kee’s Celebrate.
  • 9-piece band, led by the incomparable George “Paisley” Gordon, sets the stage for musical magic.
  • 10-member hip hop dance ensemblebrings rhythm and energy to the celebration.
  • And for a truly unique experience, the evening introduces Bunraku puppetry—a centuries-old Japanese art form known for its emotional depth and exquisite craftsmanship.  Prepare to be captivated by the artistry of James Welch, the visionary behind the Bunraku puppet design, and the expressive choreography of Patience Jackson, whose movement direction will breathe life into this timeless form.

Every ticket supports Paine College, with proceeds fueling its mission and momentum in the heart of Augusta. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to the Paine community, this is your chance to be part of something joyful, powerful, and unforgettable.
