Finalists have been selected for the Grey Wellington Theatre Guild’s Grand Talent Competition. Nineteen finalists will compete for a total of $1,000 in prize money at the Harriston Town Hall Theatre, Saturday,  June 12.

Competitors were selected from an impressive field of talent during three audition sessions in mid-May. The 19 performers come from across the Grey Wellington region and beyond, including some from the Toronto and London areas.

GWTG President Peggy Raftis says there was “extraordinary talent,” on display during auditions.

“It was a really tough competition to narrow it down to the finalists,” she states.

Scott Pettigrew of CKNX Radio will MC the final competition, which will be judged by entertainer Dinah Christie, singer - songwriter Justin Burgess and Karen Schmalz of the McMichael Sisters dance group.

Tickets are available  by  calling the box office 519-338-2778.
