“A showcase is a great opportunity for young performers to practice their talents, and gives everyone involved a chance to show off their strongest aspect of performing,” said Kasey Colligan. “The variety of songs and scenes helps make sure that everyone has an opportunity to show off their greatest talent. They also provide flexibility in the rehearsal process.”
