THE CUSTOMS HOUSE LAUNCHES ITS SEARCH FOR A SUMMER STAR
Do you have a talent? Are
you aged 18 or under? Then you could be South Shields next summer star!
Over the years, young
people who have performed at The Customs House have gone on to win The X Factor
(Joe McElderry and Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall), Britain’s Got Talent (Collabro’s
Jamie Lambert) and grace the West End stage.
Now the Customs House are on the lookout
for the next big thing.
Their Search for a Summer
Star starts with open auditions on Monday, August 14, and Tuesday, August 15,
from 10am until 4pm, at The Customs House,
Mill Dam, South Shields.
Ray Spencer, Executive
Director of The Customs House, said: “At The Customs House we love to nurture
the next generation of talent and this is another opportunity for young people
to have their moment in the spotlight.
“We are looking to
attract performers with a wide range of skills, from singers and dancers to
comedians, magicians, actors, musicians and acrobats.”
The semi-finals will then
take place in front of a live audience at The Customs House on Thursday, August
17 and Friday, August 18, at 7pm.
The grand final will take
place on Saturday, August 19, at 7pm.
The winner will walk away
