How cool!
For the first time in a very long time, we can be entertained by the opposite end of the age spectrum from our typical expectations. Instead of adorable little kids performing seemingly oblivious to their limitations, we will be witness to the charms and life-learned skills of our Waukesha "somewhat mature", residents; aka "Seniors"!
Opportunities now exist for seniors to have their own level (reduces "trip & falls") playing field in competing for space to display their talents on the vaunted Waukesha Civic Theatre Stage! We, the not-quite-as-mature group, can then admire and applaud their efforts. It's just another in the list of wonderful experiences you can enjoy at the upcoming Waukesha JanBoree...
Senior Talent Search
The Waukesha Civic Theatre Is Looking For Talented Seniors!
The Waukesha Civic Theatre is looking for seniors who would like to 'strut their stuff' for cash prizes and more. The annual Senior Talent Search will be held on Saturday, January 13 at 1:00 pm. Up to 20 finalists will be chosen to perform in the finals on Sunday, January 21, as part of the Waukesha JanBoree Festival.
Last year's search was a wonderful success. Singers, dancers, instrumentalists, comedians, actors, jugglers or any other act is welcomed. Even if you've never performed before a live audience, this can be a fun and rewarding experience.
Entrants must be at least 55 and both solo acts and groups are welcome to compete. There will be a $10 entry fee for solo acts and $5 per member for groups of two or more.
A distinguished panel of theatre managers, directors and professional musicians, will judge entrants. Entrants should limit his, her, or their performance to 5 minutes at the initial audition. We'll have an accompanist on hand and an excellent keyboard if needed. The final competition will be open to the public and will be promoted with tickets sold in advance or at the door.
Prizes will include cash and tickets to WCT shows. In addition to the prizes, entrants will be chosen for participation in the up-coming "Waukesha Senior Follies" which will give them further opportunities to entertain.
