“Menifee’s Got Talent is a great way to get performance experience in front of a live audience,” said Colleen Ackerman, organizer of the event. “In years past, we’ve clearly shown that we have an abundance of talented folks here in Menifee and in our nearby sister cities.”

A panel of judges will select the performers who will share their talent with a live audience at the Liberty High School Theatre, 32255 Leon Road, in Menifee. Tickets for the 7-9 p.m, show on May 5 will be available at the door. Discounted tickets are available online.

“We encourage anyone in our community to audition or to come and see the show,” added Ackerman. Questions about the show or auditions can be emailed to artscouncilmenifee@gmail.com or called to 951-805-3986.
