ST. GEORGE — Entertainers of all types are sought for the upcoming Star Search Talent Show, part of the upcoming Fourth of July Celebration.
According to a press release issued by the city of St. George, auditions will be conducted June 23, from 4-6 p.m. at the St. George Recreation Center. Those interested can register at this link.
“We know there are many talented people in St. George who are eager to show off their skills,” Aaron Metler, St. George Races Recreation supervisor, said in the release. “Thanks to our generous sponsor, State Bank of Southern Utah, we will again be offering outstanding prize packages to our winners. We hope everyone will join us in celebrating our nation’s birthday and in sharing the freedom to reconnect.”
The Star Search Talent Show brings a diverse range of showmanship to the stage, including singers, dancers, stand-up comics, songwriters, magicians and more. Each act must be less than four minutes in length, and performers should bring their own instruments and digital devices that serve their performances.
The top five finalists in each category qualify for the talent show and will be notified by June 27. The show will get underway at Historic Town Square on the Main Stage at 10:30 a.m. on July 4, as part of the city’s Fourth of July Celebration.
Prize packages will be awarded to the top-three finishers in each of three age categories (10 years and younger, 11-17 years, and 18 years and older), as judged by a panel of community leaders. Contestants must register in advance to audition for a slot on the performance schedule (no exceptions) and pay a $5 fee at registration.
The events of July 4 commemorate the birthday of the United States and include the Uncle Sam 4K Race, the parade, games, the hot-dog eating contest, Diaper Dash and tons of food and family fun.
