MORRISTOWN, NJ — It's time to celebrate the many talents of locals in and around Morristown. The Morristown Educational Foundation's premier fundraiser, Morristown ONSTAGE, will return for its 15th year at the Mayo Performing Arts Center. The show will feature the best amateur talent from those who live, work, train or attend school in the towns of Morristown, Morris Township and Morris Plains, as well as alumni of Morristown High School. Auditions will take place Dec. 11 at Morristown High School. Groups must have at least one member who lives, works, trains or attends school in Morristown, Morris Township or Morris Plains to qualify to audition, as well as those with a Morristown High School graduate. Anyone interested in auditioning must register at the event's website, www.morristownonstage.com by Dec. 3. The audition fee is $35. "We could not be more thrilled to open the search for the best amateur talent for the 15th anniversary of Morristown ONSTAGE," said Melanie Smith, Morristown ONSTAGE event chair. "Discovering these local rising stars is one of the highlights of our year and we can't wait to hold auditions in person once again. As we look forward to celebrating 15 years of talent, we encourage all eligible contestants to go all out and show us why they should be chosen as the best of the best to compete this year." The talent show will take place Feb. 23 at the Mayo Performing Arts Center. The finalists will compete for one of two $1,000 cash prizes — one for contestants ages 19 and over and one for contestants ages 18 and under. Morristown ONSTAGE was created to further the Morris Educational Foundation's ability to distribute financial and other resources to and for the Morris School District for enrichment programs and other projects. The 2021 virtual event raised over $150,000 for the MEF, and the event has raised over $1 million since the show's inception. Thanks for reading.
