LEWISTON — Maine’s Got Talent will be held Saturday, March 9, at the Genron Franco Center, 46 Cedar St.
The event, modeled after “America’s Got Talent” and “American Idol,” features 10 musical performers from Maine competing for cash prizes in front of a live audience.
Each performer is judged on a scale of 1 to 10 from three local celebrity judges, as well as from audience participation and feedback.
There will be a pre-show reception with cash bar and light hors d’oeuvres beginning at 6 p.m. in Heritage Hall, downstairs at the Franco Center. The show begins at 7 p.m.
All ticket holders are invited to attend the reception before the event. There will also be an intermission halfway through the show featuring cash bar and food for sale. Tickets are on sale for the public at sandcastlemaine.org. The Facebook page is MainesGotTalent.
The show will feature perfomances in opera, rap, original pieces and favorite covers. Auditions held to select performers were the best attended in the event’s history, organizers said.
This year’s celebrity judges are local musician and past Maine’s Got Talent performer Thomas Doucette, Celeste from the WBLM Morning Show and Joe Philippon of the Lewiston Police Department. Local actress and copywriter Molly F. McGill hosts.
Maine’s Got Talent is the annual fundraising event for Lewiston-based non-profit Sandcastle Clinical & Educational Services, which provides clinical and educational services to individuals of all ages and abilities, and LA Hearing Center.
