Talented youth sought for 'Night of the Stars' auditions

COMMERCE CITY - Do you watch "American Idol" and wonder why you're not on the show? Do you sometimes think to yourself, "I can do better than that!" Well, here's your chance to prove it!

It may not be "American Idol," but Commerce City's "Night of the Stars Talent Show" is just as much fun. And best of all - there's no Simon Cowell to tell you that you sing "like a Chihuahua trying to be a tiger."

If you've got talent, flaunt it at the second annual Night of the Stars Talent Show. Auditions are 6 p.m. Thursday, March 5, at the Commerce City Recreation Center, 6060 E. Parkway Drive. Auditions are open to youths in grades K-12 with talent in music, voice, and performance. The cost to audition is $5 per person; register by March 4.

Those chosen to participate will compete with contestants from the City of Denver; the competition is 6 p.m. Thursday, March 19 at Adams City High School. Tickets for the event are $3 at the door for those ages 5 and older.

First-place winners of the local competition will go on to a metrowide competition against talent from other cities on Saturday, April 25.

To register for an audition, contact the Commerce City Recreation Center at (303) 289-3789. For more information or audition rules, contact Jenna Sutheimer at (303) 289-3674.
