The place to be tomorrow especially if you are talented youth aged 4-14 is at the Theatre Guild , Kingston for a chance to show case your talent and possibly win some cash in the Cellink KidStage talent competition. The fourth preliminary round of the Cellink KidStage was boosted last week when eleven contestants made it through to the quarter finals.
Moving on to the 2nd quarter finals are from last week’s competition are Alphius Bookie, Jeremiah Williams, Navendra Singh, Maria Collymore, Akeeda Whaul, Tamara Innis, Steffon Ageda and Dexter Nelson.
“I feel excited, overwhelmed and motivated that I am selected in the top 10”, noted Whaul who believes that KidStage has so far caused her to realize her dreams in the Arts. Ultimately like all the other contestants she desires to move higher in her vocals and thus encourages all children to be part of this “dream-realizing programme”.
Weekly successful participants move on from auditions to preliminaries and out of the February 27 auditions six lucky contestants, were favoured by the judges including Amanda David, Alliah Corlette, Aaliyah Rosheuvd, Kyle Archer, Melissa Benjamin and Tiffany McAlmont. This bunch will be on show on tomorrow, March 6, at the theatre Guild, Kingston.
Meanwhile performances last Saturday were hype and stirred the audience to thunderous applauses as Andre Duesbury dominated through his sterling performance and song “Teacher, Teacher”, which presents the teachers’ plight of working hard, ring a bell, work overtime in the fields, yet “no big money”. Being the crowd’s favourite, Duesbury felt flabbergasted that at 8-years-old, he is already a “Guyanese star”.
