||| FROM COLLEEN SMITH SUMMERS for ORCAS CENTER |||


Come cheer on your friends and neighbors as they sing, adance, twirl and shine across the stage during Orcas Center’s beloved youth talent show — by kids, for kids.

There are two chances to catch this year’s incredible line up on Center Stage: Saturday, Oct. 11 at 6 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 12 at 2 p.m.

This amazing event is not a competition, just a wholesome showcase of courageous young performers, and a chance to see the future stars of Orcas Island!

Ten-year-old theatre enthusiast Jem Youngren is hosting the live event with fellow young thespians operating lights and cues behind the scenes. Every year, the show is full of surprises.

“It has been fun to be a part of the Kids Got Talent show. It’s exciting that the kids are not only performing but also producing the show this year. I am looking forward to being the MC, and to show you what these kids can do,” Youngren said.

Tickets range in price from $10-$70, with a special $10 price for students. Purchase tickets online at www.OrcasCenter.org over the phone at 360-376-2281 x 1, or in-person Tuesday – Friday 11am-2pm, and an hour prior to showtime. And don’t forget, volunteers who help with iPad check-in get to see the show for free!
