It’s Back! St. Thomas Seniors Got Talent 3 Returns This Fall

Get ready for an evening of laughs, applause, and inspiring performances: St. Thomas Seniors Got Talent 3 is set to hit the stage on Saturday, November 1st at the St. Thomas Seniors Centre. Presented by Nurse Next Door, this feel- good event will shine a spotlight on the incredible talents of our local senior community. Open to anyone aged 55 and up, auditions for this year’s event will take place on Thursday, October 2nd, at the Seniors Centre. From singers and musicians to comedians, dancers, magicians, rappers, and more, if you can perform it in five minutes or less, we want to see it! Aspiring contestants can register by emailing stthomasseniorsgottalent@gmail.com or calling Geoff at 519-495-7177. Those selected by the judging panel will be treated like stars, with a professional photo shoot courtesy of Candice Van Diepen of CVD Photography and the chance to perform on the big stage under dazzling lights. Special guest judges will once again be on hand to cheer on the finalists and select this year’s standout acts. The evening is more than just a talent show — it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and giving back. All proceeds will benefit Hospice of Elgin, helping support the incredible care they provide to local families.
