Talent Show Assistant

About The Variety Show Group

The variety Show Group organized an annual event which gives the opportunity to both local and national participants to showcase their talents. The Talent show was originally set up an avenue for younger members of the community to express themselves in a safe environment and to aid integration by mixing participants of all nationalities.

Parents were encouraged to stay and volunteer which also lead to their integration into the community by interacting with other parents sharing a common interest. As interest grew, we extended to accepting applications from adult participants also giving them the opportunity to fulfill perhaps a lifelong dream.

All participants whether successful or not are given a opportunity to shine and are promoted by The Variety Show Group in a way we can. We are open as a group to all participants regardless of circumstance
