Showstoppers Musical Entertainment is seeking youth for its 14th annual public audition to be held on Sunday, Sept. 27 at 3 p.m. at the Zeiterion Theatre Annex on the corner of Spring Street and Purchase Street in New Bedford.

Showstoppers, a community-service singing troupe, is run by Mattapoisett's Kelly Zucco and features children and teens in grades two to 12 from around the area.

Candidates are asked to prepare two song selections – a ballad and an upbeat tune – and to bring their own prerecorded accompaniment music containing no lead vocals.

Successful candidates will be offered an opportunity to make an impact on their community by offering free musical entertainment to the elderly at nursing homes, senior centers and assisted living facilities. The troupe will also perform for the community at large through a variety of private and public venues, including fairs, festivals, schools, malls, charitable fundraisers and other civic events.

Showstoppers, which averages 50 performances annually, is a subsidiary of Showstoppers Performing Arts, Inc., an all-volunteer nonprofit organization.
