ALEXANDRIA — For the second year in a row, the Alexandria Lakes Area Talent Show will showcase acts at the Alexandria Area High School Performing Arts Center on Thursday, April 14, at 7 p.m.
According to Mark Halvorson, performing arts manager, audience members can expect to watch a variety of seven performances. Such as a classical piano rendition, acapella singing, an original property reading, self-choreographed dances, an original rap song and a singing duet.
Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce dollars will be awarded to the three best performances of the night. $300 for first place, $200 for second place and $100 for third place.
Typically, the Judges of the show — Chuck Grussing, Dave Holtz and Paulette Friday — would select the top 10 auditions to perform at the show. However, this year, just seven acts submitted auditions compared to last year's 25, so all will perform.
The show will occur at the AAHS Performing Arts Center located at 4300 Pioneer Rd SE on Thursday, April 14, at 7 p.m. and is expected to run over an hour.
