Macon County youth will take the stage in Showcase of Talent 2012, a non-competitive talent show for third- to 12th-graders, at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 28.

The annual event is held in the Franklin High School Fine Arts Center and features talented students chosen from the county’s public, private, and home schools performing a variety of entertaining acts, from vocal and instrumental numbers to dance, gymnastics, and comedy routines.

Admission is $5 adult and $2 youth age 16 and under.  Proceeds support the Arts Council’s Artists-in-the-Schools Program, which brings diverse interactive, instructive arts programs to Macon County Public Schools.

Showcase of Talent is a joint project of the Arts Council and the Macon County Board of Education. It is supported by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources.  For information visit www.artscouncilofmacon.org or phone the Arts Council at 828.524.7683.
