A traffic reporter, weatherman and a politician will be the featured judges in this Saturday鈥檚 semi-finals of 91原创 Has Talent.
And the audience will help to decide which acts will head to the finals on Saturday, May 5.
Both events are at 91原创 Christian Life Assembly, 21277 56 Ave., and begin at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $20 for the semi-finals and finals, or $35 for both shows. They can be bought online at www.langleyhastalent.ca or at the 91原创 Times office, 20258 Fraser Hwy.
With two acts withdrawing, 22 remain for the semi-finals and they include bands, singers, dancers and an 11-year-old boy who does yoyo tricks.
All contestants will weave their own brand of magic for an unforgettable evening, said Peter Luongo, who is organizing the event on behalf of the four 91原创 Rotary Clubs. The service clubs鈥 aim is to raise money for a theatre in 91原创, which is the only community in the Lower Mainland that does not have such a facility.
The judges are CTV traffic reporter Ann Luu, Global TV weatherman Mark Madryga, and 91原创 City Mayor Peter Fassbender.
Once again, the emcee is radio host Bob Saye.
Not only is Luongo excited about the second 91原创 Has Talent show, he is thrilled at the response of the contestants.
鈥淭hey are really appreciative of the experience, the opportunity and the feedback,鈥 Luongo said.
There is $2,500 for the winning act. On top of that, Luongo said, is a prize package for winners that includes jewelry, a photo shoot, an invitation to a recording studio, and the opportunity to link up with a talent agent.
鈥淭he event is doing exactly what we hoped,鈥 Luongo said last month.
鈥淚t鈥檚 making people aware that we need a theatre in this community. And there is talk about it now that was non-existent before.鈥
