STL's Got Talent!

Brownpapertickets.com gives the description below of what promises to be a fun event:

Auditions for St. Louis Got Talent were held during the month of October through video submissions and live auditions. Our panel of judges, representing the St. Louis musical and theatre arts communities, decided upon 15 finalists.  These 15 finalists will compete for cash and travel prizes, which will be awarded to the top 2 performers. Finalists will perform at the February event in front of celebrity judges and hundreds of people. Honorary chairs of the event are Kim & Bill Miller. Event co-chairs are Lynne Palan and Jenny Wolkowitz. All proceeds from the event benefit Nishmah.

Nishmah (www.Nishmah.org) is a local 501c(3) Jewish women's organization dedicated to inspiring, engaging and educating women of all age cohorts throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area. We regularly partner with other agencies like the Jewish Community Center (JCC) and Interfaith Partnership/Faith Beyond Walls.  Nishmah has a mailing list of 2,500 households and an email distribution list of over 700 individuals.
