Hey, Kids! Listen Up! Yes, you! It's time to polish those tap shoes, warm up those vocal cords, and tune that trombone, ukulele, or unicycle! "Why," you ask? Because the team at kidsActing is hosting a major two-part event to benefit our non-profit sister organization, Center Stage Texas!
We know that kidsActing students are among the most talented in town, and we want YOU and all of your super-skilled friends to be there to "represent." Do you know a kid who can sing like an angel? Juggle like a jester? Dance like a dervish? Play accordion medleys like a young Weird Al Yankovic?
Well, there's a new regional talent competition designed just for you and all the wildly talented kids like you to strut your stuff... Any and all acts are welcome, and the top prize is a $10,000 college scholarship!
It's called KIDS GOT TALENT and it's open to any kid aged 8 - 18 in the greater Austin area. Here are the steps to take to see your name in lights:
STEP ONE. Pre-register today for the auditions on October 16th or October 23rd by visiting www.centerstagetexas.com or coming by Center Stage Texas (2826 Real Street) to get an application packet.
STEP TWO. Practice, practice, practice!
STEP THREE. Show up for your assigned first-round time-slot and wow the judges' panel of professional performing artists!
The acts chosen as finalists will be invited to perform for 400 attendees and celebrity judges at the Center Stage Texas Gala on January 21, 2012 at the Westin Domain, so mark your calendars now... Delicious food, delightful entertainment-- and the top three acts will be awarded scholarships!
Even more important than the glamour and excitement of the final event, Kids Got Talent offers an educational opportunity for kids who are interested in pursuing a career in the performing arts. Every kid that auditions will be given a copy of their audition tape, along with constructive comments from the judges.
Come on, you know you've got a shot! So take a leap and sign up today - we can't wait to see you there!
