The Cayman Islands is planning to send a team of performers to the World Championships of Performing Arts in July next year. Video auditions were only accepted until Sept. 30, but there is a last chance for those who want to audition to do so in person.
Live auditions will be held at the Harquail Studio Theatre on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Anyone interested is encouraged to register in advance by the end of Friday, as pre-registered talent will be allowed to audition first on the day.
National director for the Cayman team, Antonio Dennis, has been impressed with what he has seen so far, and is looking forward to seeing the live auditions.
“I am very intrigued by the level of talent I am seeing on the island,” Dennis says, “and I look forward to helping Caymanian talent be discovered on the world stage, and possibly help international careers and dreams be launched.”
