The dual purpose of the annual competition, hosted by Langley’s four Rotary Clubs, has been to highlight previously undiscovered talent from the community and to underscore the need for a dedicated performing arts facility in the Langleys.

Stage is set for final Langley Has Talent competition

Tickets are now on sale for March 28 semifinals at CLA. Final competition will take place on April 18

With the selection of the semi finalists now complete, the stage is set for the fifth and final Langley Has Talent competition.

Twenty three acts will take the stage at Christian Life Assembly on Saturday, March 28.

From those, the top acts, selected by a panel of celebrity and industry judges, will go through to perform in the finals at CLA on Saturday, April 18.

Among the acts audiences will be able to check out at this year’s competition, are musicians in a range of genres, singers, dancers and Cirque du Soleil-style performances.

Some are brand new to the competition while others have graced the stage at CLA in years past.

Anyone who has enjoyed the performances at previous LHT competitions, as well as those who have always planned to attend and not yet done so are urged to make this the year they come out.

“This is the last year Rotary will put on Langley Has Talent,” said the competition’s founder, Peter Luongo.

“I hope the community will really get behind it and demonstrate support for the talent in Langley and the need for a (dedicated performing arts) venue.

“I’m excited to have the chance to bring this to a close this year,” said Luongo.

Tickets for the March 28 show are $20 each, and are now available at langleyhastalent.com or at the Langley Times office, 20258 Fraser Hwy.
