It is time for the annual Orcas all-kid talent show “Whale of a Show” on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Orcas Center.

Directed by Didier Gincig and crew, this annual event is an opportunity to see talented island youth (ages three to 18) perform on the big stage. Didier and his daughter Emilie have hosted the show since its inception almost a decade ago. The enthusiastic audience experience for young performers encourages and supports their talents which include singing, dancing, skits, and musicianship. Family acts are included too.

Several performers, Stormy Hildreth included, have been participating for years, while for some this is their very first time on stage. “

We see these kids as they grow up, perfect their craft, and get better every year,” said Didier. “Whale of a Show offers the opportunity for children to become comfortable on stage in front of an audience.”

All ticket proceeds benefit Orcas Center’s youth programs.

Tickets for Whale of a Show are $8 and may be purchased at www.orcascenter.org or by calling 376-2281 ext. 1 or visiting the Orcas Center Box Office open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 2 p.m.
