Lee's Summit's Got Talent - Season 2
Lee's
Summit's Got Talent is a premier talent competition that is returning this
summer for its second season with the most talented performers in the Greater
Kansas City area ready to compete for a $5,000 cash prize. Andy and Tammy Heath
will return as the Masters of Ceremony. Season 2 celebrity judges will be
announced in February.
The competition is open to all ages and all types of talent giving performers an opportunity to showcase their unique talents on stage. This is a true variety show format with singers, dancers, magicians, jugglers, comedians, animal acts and any category in between.
The talent search begins with auditions in April before a panel of judges. Last year 100 hopeful acts auditioned for the chance of moving on to the finale. Twenty acts are then selected to perform in the show in June and compete for the cash prize. Season 1 winner Danise Harris, a 20-year-old college student walked away with the $5,000 cash prize for her rendition of “I Am Changing”, beating out 19 other acts that competed in the finale. Eleven-year-old Elijah Oliver, "The King", moonwalked into the hearts of the audience and won the "Crowd Pleaser" award for his dance performance to a Michael Jackson medley.
Lee's Summit's Got Talent is a fundraiser to benefit the programs of Lee's Summit CARES, a non-profit community coalition that works to reduce substance abuse and youth violence. For more information about Lee's Summit CARES go to lscares.org.
