Finalists
set to perform on October 8 for People’s Choice Award, cash prizes!
"High Point - The Stage is set for the first ever High
Point Has Talent event on Oct. 8, 2016. The twenty-five performers
selected as finalists after an extensive audition process come from all walks
of life, with an age range from 12 years old to mid-70’s. Performances will get
underway at 7:00 PM!
High Point Has Talent will feature performances by singers,
dancers, stand-up comics, musicians, and singer/songwriters, with music ranging
from classical, to patriotic, to hip hop/R&B. An amazing group of
performers will be putting their skills on display for the public to see with
an opportunity to win cash prizes, and to be seen by regional talent buyers and
agents for a shot at advancing their performing career!
Contestants will have an opportunity to win one of four
prizes: $500 for first, $250 for second, $100 for third and a special “People’s
Choice” award.
HPHT is a new fundraising event for the Friends of the High
Point Theatre, the non-profit volunteer arm of the High Point Theatre. This
event will replace the long standing Cabaret, which was a City of High Point
owned staple of the Friends for 27 years.
David Briggs, Director of High Point Theatre noted “The Cabaret event
was very popular, but the Friends decided that they needed to broaden the
horizons, bring a new type of show, and create a special event that will be
enjoyed by many more people.” Leslie Graham, a Friend and Volunteer at the
theatre said, “This is an exciting way to help create our audience for the
amazing talent found in our area.”
Tickets for High Point Has Talent are $15, tax
included, available through the High Point Theatre Box Office, in person or by calling
(336) 887-3001 during regular business hours (Mon-Fri, noon-5PM). Tickets may also be purchased on-line by
