The Wilson Performing Arts Center has a big weekend ahead and an exciting new season on the horizon.
Saturday’s Wilson Youth Talent Showcase starts at 6:30 p.m. and will feature 20 contestants performing in 17 acts, with young performers ages 9 to 18 taking the stage. Gabby Smith and Gabe Kingery will serve as hosts for the evening, and organizers say it is shaping up to be a fun and entertaining event for the whole community.
Tickets are $20, and proceeds will support the Wilson scholarship fund to help kids take part in camps, classes, and other opportunities. Grand prize winners in each age category will receive $500 thanks to sponsor MCMH.
The Wilson also used the interview to announce its new season, which includes a wide variety of concerts, musicals, community theater productions, children’s events, and special performances.
Upcoming shows already on sale include Dear Jack, Dear Louise on April 17-19, Dueling Divas on May 2, and Legally Blonde: The Musical on June 5-14. Summer camps are also filling quickly, including The Day the Crayons Quit and Frozen Junior.
