NYCHA CITY-WIDE TALENT SHOW 2012

NYCHA TALENT SHOWCASE

Talent Search Competition/Talent Show

For the past 42 years, NYCHA's Talent Shows have been delighting audiences and launching the careers of up-and-coming performers who reside in public housing. Auditions of over one hundred performers are held in each borough. Twenty five to 30 acts are selected to compete in the final show which is held in the spring. During the demanding rehearsal schedule participants are given instruction in voice, stage presence choreography and dramatic delivery.

It's time again for the NYCHA Talent Show Competition. Featuring residents with that little extra special something in dance, drama, music, or spoken word, the 42nd annual Competition will be held at the Red Hook East Community Center on April 21st, 2012.

The competition is the culmination of the Performing Arts Program and over three months of citywide auditions and rehearsals led by a group of professional consultants in nearly everything, including choreography, voice, stage management and presence, make up, and lighting. Last year’s competition included some truly amazing performances, several of which are up at the StudioNYCHA website.

Winners in each category receive a special prize related to their talent and performance like dance classes, vocal lessons, or theater training- guaranteeing them the chance to continue to develop and expand their talent. And in addition to competitors the Talent Show features performances by previous Talent Show winners, professional guest artists, and the NYCHA Youth Chorus and NYCHA Senior Chorus.

Auditions are open until the week before the competition, so it's not too late to try out. If you are interested in auditioning, call (212) 683-3647 or email your audition video links to Juan.Santiago@nycha.nyc.gov.

Reserve your tickets at (212) 683-3647.
