We all know how much fun a good, old fashioned talent show can be. Put a twist on it by having both members and outsiders participate.
You can sell tickets to friends and family and turn the evening into a real theatrical production.
The show should be about inclusivity, so make sure everyone who’s interested gets to join in.
To avoid a ten hour long event, have a committee work with participants to group together similar acts and ensure the show has a nice flow from set to set.
No one wants to see three covers of a Beyoncé song in a row, no matter how talented the performers are. Have the performers combine forces and sing a supercharged Beyoncé medley as a group.
At the end of the night, ask the audience to vote on a winner. Give the winner a trophy to keep until the following year’s show. Everyone will leave brainstorming about what their next performance should be and how they can win that coveted trophy.
