The Carson Valley Arts Council hosts ShowBiz Kids, 7-9 p.m. May 15, at the Copeland Cultural Arts Center ArtBar, 1572 Highway 395, Minden. The monthly event, organized by Theatre of Arts Discipline, encourages young people ages 5-18 to perform prepared pieces in their choice of genre - from poetry and monologue recitation to singing and dancing.
ShowBiz is described as an open mic night for kids, where they can share in each others' talents. It is free to perform and free to be in the audience, with open sign-ups and as many performers included as time allows.
Kris Garrett, artistic director of TOAD, said to be prepared for spontaneous moments of inspired creativity. "We have a good time and kids have someplace that's their own and get to do their thing," she said. Information, toadinc@gmail.com or (775) 219-3577.
