LEWISTON — Maine’s Got Talent has set a tentative date of Saturday, Oct. 17, for the postponed competiton. It was originally scheduled for Saturday, March 21, at the Franco Center in Lewiston, and is the annual fundraising event for Lewiston-based non-profits Sandcastle Clinical & Educational Services and LA Hearing Center.
All tickets for the March 21 event will be honored at the rescheduled performance.
The event, modeled after “America’s Got Talent” and “American Idol,” features ten musical performers from Maine competing for cash prizes in front of a live audience. This year’s performances will range in genre from opera, “conscious hip hop,” original pieces, and favorite covers. Contestants were selected from the best attended auditions in the event’s history, held in Lewiston and Portland in January.
As the new date of Oct. 17, approaches, organizers will assess the CDC recommendations at that time. Any changes and forthcoming news can be found on the event’s Facebook page or at sandcastlemaine.org.
