Penn Talent Show scheduled for Jan. 14

Penn High School Student Talent Show will be Thursday, Jan. 14 at 7 p.m. in Penn’s Center for Performing Arts.

Cost to attend the talent show is $5 at the box office the night of the show.

There will be 11 acts, ranging from a Barbershop quarter, to belly dancing.

The talent shows have showcased the diversity and creativity of Penn’s students.

“The range of acts we've seen in the past is extensive, from a beat-box supported yo-yoist, to a student designed costume/choreographed dance skit, to lip-sync, to canned music/live singing, to student composed/written solo and power trio acts,” Coffee said. “We've seen a scene from the competition play headed to the State Thespian Fest, hooping, hula, duets, self-written comedy acts, SNL interpretations, Python interpretations, comedic monologues, you name it. 

“We have extremely talented, unique students who have gifts to share, and we love to see the student who seems pretty insulated in the classroom take the kind of risk you see at the Talent Show.”
