For a small village
with a population of only about 300 people, Chesterhill is home to an impressive
roster of talented artists.
This
roster includes professional musicians who have toured nationally, won high
profile awards, and had their compositions professionally recorded and
published. One objective of the Union Hall Restoration and Education Committee
in selecting programming for the Union Hall Theater is to celebrate the
wonderful talent that is right here among us. The Local Talent Showcase is a
great way to achieve this objective.
But
you need not be a professional performer in order to share your talents
with our audience! The Open Stage is also a great learning opportunity
for artists who are still perfecting their craft or who want to try out
new material in a friendly and supportive setting. Or if performing is
not your thing, you can still contribute by simply cheering the
performers on!
An exciting lineup
of local talent, an enthusiastic audience and a pervasive sense of
community
spirit
made our March 18th Local Talent Showcase a great success. As a
result, we decided to make this a regular event, occurring about once
every three months.
