It’s time to sign up to audition for the 10th Anniversary show of “Orcas Has Talent,” which is a feel-good spin-off of the TV show where local artists can showcase their talents and win cash prizes.
“Stay tuned for some fun changes to the show this year in celebration of the 10th Anniversary,” say producers. “A new flash mob? New mentors? A new way of voting? More prizes? It’s guaranteed to be a lot of fun for our community.”
All artists must audition and receive a golden ticket to qualify for the finale show held at the Orcas Center on Feb. 7 where the winner will be chosen by audience vote and take home a $500 prize. Auditions will be held on Jan. 24 at 7:30 p.m. All interested artists 15 years and up must sign up now.
The “Orcas Has Talent Junior” competition featuring the up-and-coming talented Orcas youth will be held on Jan. 24 at 2 p.m. The winner will be awarded a $500 prize and the chance to compete with the adults. Junior contestants 10 years of age and older also must sign up now.
Orcas Has Talent benefits the high school leadership group Point Blank.
“I am so proud of these kids who will be our future leaders. The program’s positive support for them is critical these days more than ever,” says Julie Pinardi, program director.
The show sells out each year in record time, most years within the week of when they go on sale. You can make a donation now of $50 that will allow you to purchase two tickets to the finale show and choose your seats for the show. E-mail orcashastalent@gmail.com to arrange for pre-sale tickets.
