Calling All Performers: Crown Charlotte's Talent Virtual Auditions Open July 15!

Do you sing, dance, play an instrument, perform spoken word, make people laugh, amaze audiences with magic, or have a unique talent to share? Crown Charlotte's Talent is searching for talented performers of all ages to compete in one of the Charlotte area's most exciting talent showcases.
