Carson’s Got Talent, a talent show featuring performers of all ages and genres, has announced the competition lineup for its April 14 show that benefits Meals On Wheels.
The lineup this year includes a wide variety of high quality performers, who auditioned live or submitted a video audition before the final lineup was chosen.
The regional talent show, emceed by local comedian Roger Diez, starts at 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 14 inside the Bob Boldrick Theater at the Carson City Community Center.
Courtney Warner, executive director of the Carson City Senior Center, said the final lineup is filled with impressive talent from all over the region.
"We had so many fantastic performers audition for the show,” Warner said. “It was really hard for our panel to select the final acts."
Scoring is based on judges’ scores and audience votes.
The first-place performing act will win a $500 cash prize; second place will win $250; and third place will win $100.
The show’s audience will have the ability to purchase Audience Choice votes, and a special trophy will be awarded to the act raising the most money for Meals On Wheels.
The judging panel will consist of regional celebrities and performing arts experts. The selection of judges will be announced in the coming weeks.
“We are assembling a panel of judges with show business backgrounds and celebrity judges who will add additional star power to the judging,” Warner said.
Carson’s Got Talent is a great way for the community to come together and have a fun evening while supporting a great cause, Warner said.
Carson City Meals On Wheels provides meals for nearly 300 home-bound seniors daily.
In the period between Oct. 2016 through Sept. 2017, Meals on Wheels Carson City provided over 79,500 meals to local seniors, and Warner said that number is expected to reach 90,000 for this reporting period.
“Carson's Got Talent is a great example of the community coming together to celebrate the arts and help our own,” Warner said. “We are so grateful for the outpouring of support we've received for the show.”
