Sing with the Showstoppers

MATTAPOISETT — The Showstoppers Performing Troupe is having auditions, with the opportunity for singers to perform with the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra in December.

The troupe is seeking local talent, looking for children grades 2-12 for its 25th season.

Candidates should submit two audition videos, one ballad and one upbeat song, for review to ShowstopperME@gmail.com. Submissions don’t need to be professionally done and can be recordings of previous school productions.

Callbacks will be in person by appointment. Selected candidates will rehearse at weekly 90-minute sessions and will have the opportunity to perform with the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra on Dec. 20.

“They will also make an impact on their community by providing musical entertainment to the elderly at nursing homes, senior centers and assisted living facilities throughout the South Coast,” the troupe said on a Facebook post.

The nonprofit organization performs at community events including fairs, festivals, schools, malls, fundraisers and more.
