Performance Showcase coming to town library

TORRINGTON — The Torrington Library is hosting a Performer Showcase on Friday, Sept. 21, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Performer Showcase highlights quality performers and presenters available to entertain audiences of all ages and demographics. The showcase will feature live performances, where entertainers present their talents in brief, but exciting mini-performances. The event is open to everyone, with a focus on event planners and activities coordinators for libraries, schools, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, senior centers, and more.

“Choosing quality entertainment for patrons or clients can be difficult,” said library director Jessica Gueniat. “A performer showcase allows an event planner/coordinator to see a mini-performance and decide if that presenters is a good fit for her organization. Plus, it is a good way for new presenters and performers to advertise their talents. It’s a win-win for both event planners and artists. It also makes for a fun Friday.”

This year, the Torrington Savings Bank Community Room will feature eight adult focused presenters. Running concurrently, the Ronda and Harold Burns Program Room will feature eight children/teen presenters. Presenters include musicians, story tellers, historical performers, lecturers, mind readers, and much more.

Participants may register to view the eight children/ teen-focused presenters or eight adult-focused presenters.

Admission to the Performer Showcase is $20 per person and includes lunch. Registration is required and the event is limited to 50 people per showcase. People may register by calling the library or visiting www.torringtonlibrary.org
