Sponsorship opportunities range from $50 to $100. It is asked that members of the community and local businesses consider securing a sponsorship by contacting Laurie Rapisardi at (908) 455-0179 or by emailing laurier68@gmail.com
A total of 12 performers will be highlighted during the Competition. The acts will be judged by the following professionals in the entertainment and theatre industries: Justin Boccitto, Germaine Goodson and Gary Pate. Boccitto is a performer, director, choreographer and dance teacher. Goodson is a broadway performer and master tap teacher and Pate performs at the Metropolitan Opera and theatrical outlets. Audiences will also have the opportunity to see the judges perform during the event.
This is the second Virtually Amazing Talent Competition Hackettstown Rotary has hosted in recent months. The last opportunity was scheduled in July and focused on featuring adult talent. Both events are replacing Rotary’s most financially impactful fundraiser of the year, Memorial Madness Car Show, which was cancelled due to the current pandemic.
