Do you have a talent or belong to a group that has talent? Do you have an entertainer in your family or know someone who has? Are you a fan of shows like America’s Got Talent? Well then, read on. This is an exploratory invitation for auditions for our own “Sun Lakes Got Talent” show project. There are several steps to create this event:
Step 1: We need enough contestants who want to express themselves on stage. Are you a singer, comedian, daredevil, have a pet that can do backflips, or just have an odd talent like putting 20 straws in your ear? The only requirement for an audition is that you live in Sun Lakes or have a family member or friend who lives in Sun Lakes to be your sponsor. Contact us at [email protected] and let us know what talent you or your group has. Don’t wait, as there may be a limit on audition applications. Auditions will start in a few months and take place over several weeks at different locations, days and times with the finale planned for early next year at one of our community stages. Keep in mind that greatness is not as important as having fun. All auditions and shows will be videoed, and a link to share with family and friends will be available.
Step 2: We need a team of volunteers to help create and produce this event, develop schedules, location, promotion, and more. If you have experience as an event coordinator, talent agent, or just someone who wants to get involved and have some fun, email us and we’ll chat. Note: As of this press release, this event is not currently associated with any television or entertainment network, social club, church, or business.
Step 3: We are working with various sponsors and clubs for prize donations, not only for the winner, runner-up, and second runner-up, but also for the best in each category such as Best Singer, Best Magician, Best Dancer, and Most Unusual. Age is another category for prizes for Best Performer Under the Age of 17 and, of course, Best Senior Talent. Being a sponsor is a great way for your business, club, or organization to get more exposure to “spread your message” within our community. Let us know if you are interested in being a sponsor. Note: All money from ticket sales (after expenses) will be included in prize winnings.
Step 4: We need you to help spread the word. If you’re not interested in performing but “love the idea,” ask us for an email version of this article to spread the word to all your clubs, acquaintances, business associations, friends, and family and have them contact us at [email protected]. Let’s go and have some fun!
