This weekend, One Nation One Project GNV (ONOP GNV) and community partners will host the Apollo Theater Talent Search at Lincoln Middle School.
The event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, and Sunday, July 14, at 1001 SE 12th St. in Gainesville.
Individuals ages 5-25 are eligible to perform as soloists or in groups of three or fewer. Performers from the top two acts will be awarded an all-expense paid trip to compete at Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater in New York City.
“It can be groups. It can be solos. It can be trios. It can be duets, singing, dancing, rapping, variety acts, musicians, looking for all kinds of talent,” said Marion Caffey, One Nation One Project GNV Artistic Director.
