“Over 50 performers auditioned in January at the open auditions, now we are down to the top 15,” said Leah Ohmer, HVCA executive director. “These performers have put in a lot of blood sweat and tears to win the two $1,000 prizes and now the community has the chance to see them compete in a spectacular final show. If someone is a fan of television talent competitions, this local, live version is not to be missed!”

“The fourth annual Got Talent? competition was created to give K-12 youth and passionate adults who are interested in the performing arts an opportunity to experience a professional audition and a final show,” Ohmer explained. “Each participant that auditions is given feed back during the audition process by the judges that are professionals in various fields in the performing arts such as musicians, talent agents, dancers, theatrical performers and music producers. The event is set in three stages: The call for talent (open auditions), the semifinals (or call back) and the final show. The adult and K-12 winners of the final show each will receive a cash prize of $1,000 (sponsored by Genisys Credit Union and Feldman Automotive Group) in order to help them move forward in their future performance career. In addition, there are three category winners that receive $100 gift cards also supplied by Genisys.
