Virtual Talent Showcase for CT Students

As an antidote to student boredom during the Coronavirus, the Palace Theater in Waterbury and sponsor The Next Street Driving Schools are collaborating to host a Virtual Talent Showcase for CT Students inviting all to submit videos of themselves or in a group performing. Here are the specifics for interested students:

• Students  need to record themselves singing, dancing or playing an instrument that will be shared on the Palace’s Instagram page (@palace_theater)
  • Talent  showcase is limited to performance based – singing, dancing, acting, comedy
  • Students must be a CT resident or student to participate ages ranging from 7 to 19
• The window for submissions runs from April 10 to April 30
  • The Palace will continue to post videos through May before announcing a winner and may extend the deadline for video submissions if more people want to enter and quarantine continues
  • Several COVID-based song parodies, Broadway musical covers, as well as covers of hit songs have been submitted
• The winner will largely be determined by each post’s Instagram engagement
• To enhance their chances of winning students should:
  • Like & Share their posts to get out the word and earn more votes
  • The Palace will share weekly rundowns of the videos on Facebook
  • The winner will receive a Palace prize pack
• To submit your video, DM the video to @palace_theater or send a dropbox link to kimmey@palacetheaterct.org
• Any questions, email kimmey@palacetheaterct.org

The Palace’s primary purpose is to revitalize the Greater Waterbury community through the presentation of the performing arts and educational initiatives in collaboration with area cultural and educational institutions. Its mission is to preserve and operate the historic Palace Theater as a performing arts center and community gathering place that provides a focal point of cultural activity and educational outreach for diverse audiences. For more information, visit: www.palacetheaterct.org.
