The Department of Education, Arts & Culture (EAC) announces the return of Friday Night Live, part of the First Friday program, for all community teens between the ages of 13 through 19 at the Community Theatre located in Memorial Auditorium (399 McCallie Avenue). The series return is Friday, May 4th from 7:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m., doors open at 7:00 p.m. Here teens can enjoy a variety of performances, in a safe, secure and controlled environment, by local talent. These performances will showcase individuals and groups from local schools, city recreation centers, and youth organizations.
An added element to the program is an “American Idol” type/format competition. Here teens can perform in front of local judges and three winners will be named in May, June, July & August with the grand finale in September. Prizes for the monthly winners will be awarded and the grand prize, awarded in September, could include: production and studio time; PR in local and regional print publications, and interviews with local television and radio personalities promoting their artistic talent and/or product.
