St. Thomas Seniors Got Talent: Act Three

The spotlight is ready to shine once again as St. Thomas Seniors Got Talent 3 takes the stage on Saturday, November 1st at 6:30 pm at the St. Thomas Seniors Centre. This community favourite promises another unforgettable evening filled with music, laughter, and heartwarming performances. With ten talented seniors stepping into the spotlight, a few surprises along the way, and the always- entertaining Mike Vecchio returning as Emcee, the third edition of the show is set to carry forward the tradition of celebrating passion and creativity at every age. Behind the scenes, the event thrives thanks to the support of its presenting sponsor, Nurse Next Door, who has been with the show since day one. Owner and Director Tammy Bale says the decision to support the show came naturally: “This event aligns perfectly with our core values and philosophy of care. We believe in ‘Happier Aging’, and that means getting clients back to doing the things they love doing!” For Tammy, the event is more than a sponsorship; it reflects the essence of her business. “We believe aging is something to be celebrated! We also encourage our clients as well as our care teams to be bold and live out their passions. This amazing event gives a stage to seniors to do just that, all while supporting an excellent cause and needed resource in our community.”

That same excitement runs throughout the St. Thomas Seniors Centre, which has hosted the event since its beginning. Executive Director Angela Ostojic, who will co- host the evening, says the anticipation builds each year. “It is an exciting night out, combining heartfelt moments, genuine fun and community spirit. The excitement lies in the fact that it is always a surprise as to which skills will be showcased, whether it be comedy, music, dancing, or magic. The excitement the contestants have, that nervous energy.” Angela adds that the behind-the-scenes atmosphere is just as moving as what happens on stage. “We are fortunate to be present for every stage of the evening. We are always excited to host the event: the excitement and the friendly support between contestants in the green room while awaiting their turn; their family and friends supporting them from the crowd; watching the participants share their passion that they have practiced and perfected!” She admits that one part of the process especially touches her heart. “As the presenting sponsor, I have an opportunity to assist with the preliminary selection round. I find it especially touching when an audition is about to start, contestants nervously make their way to the front, and then they step fully into their brilliance! Whether I am tapping my toes along to the beat, laughing at the jokes or being moved to tears with their melodies, my heart is always so full by the end of that day. And it leaves me so excited for the big night.” That spirit of encouragement and togetherness is exactly what stood out to Larissa Caruana, Community Engagement
