Kinsmen Telemiracle is looking for Saskatchewan singers, dancers, bands, and entertainers to audition for a chance to perform on Telemiracle 41 to be held March 4 and 5, 2017 in Saskatoon, and broadcast live on CTV.
“Audition weekend is such an exciting time for us. It’s our first real event of the Telemiracle season.” says Cindy Xavier, the Kinsmen Foundation’s executive director. “Between Saskatoon and Regina, our producers watch around 180 performances. They always have a tough job to narrow that down to around 50 or so that will appear on Telemiracle.”
While talent is one part of the criteria, a passion for Telemiracle, the desire to help others, and a geographic balance among performers are other factors involved in the selection of entertainers that will be on the show. Producer Ian Roach says, “We want the Saskatchewan Talent on the show to represent the fabric of the province. I’m always overwhelmed with the quality of talent in this province and also how generously people give.”
Anyone interested in auditioning for Telemiracle must register by calling the Kinsmen Telemiracle office at (306) 244-6400, extension 2. Auditions will be held on November 5 in Regina and November 6 in Saskatoon.
The Kinsmen Foundation makes miracles by providing Saskatchewan people and organizations with special needs equipment and access to medical assistance.
Through funds raised at Telemiracle, the Kinsmen Foundation is able to gift special needs equipment, mobility equipment, travel costs to get to medical facilities, community vans, and equipment in hospitals and health centres across Saskatchewan.
