Menifee’s Got Talent show will return in May

Menifee’s Got Talent, a non-competitive variety show, will return to the stage 7-9 p.m. May 5, after a two-year pandemic-related hiatus.

There is no cost to perform and all ages are welcome. Past entertainers have included singers, musicians, comedians, jugglers and magicians.

“Menifee’s Got Talent is a great way to get performance experience in front of a live audience,” Colleen Ackerman, organizer of the event, said in a news release. “In years past, we’ve clearly shown that we have an abundance of talented folks here in Menifee and in our nearby sister cities.”

An audition is required and information is available at artscouncilmenifee.org. Video auditions can be submitted online. In-person auditions will be held 9 a.m.-3 p.m. March 25 at the Antelope-Menifee Rural Center, 31850 Haun Road, Menifee.

A panel of judges will select the participants, who will perform in front of a live audience at the Liberty High School Theatre, 32255 Leon Road, Menifee.

Discounted advance tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for children ages 6 to 17, students with ID and seniors age 62 and older. A family ticket, for two adults and two or more children ages  to 17 from the same family, is $25. Children 5 and younger are admitted free.

Tickets are available through May 3 at artscouncilmenifee.org and will be available at the door.

Proceeds from the show will help Arts Council Menifee, a nonprofit organization, in its mission is to bring the arts to Menifee and local artists to the public.
