Prince Rupert's Got Talent and you can see it during Saturday show at the Lester Centre

Hot on the heels of a successful presentation of Rock of Ages at the Lester Centre a few weeks back comes yet another opportunity to check out the local arts scene in the city, with the 2016 edition of Prince Rupert's Got Talent coming up this weekend.

The popular event will see a range of talent competing for the top prize of 1,000 dollars as they take to the stage at the Lester Centre on Saturday night at 7 PM.

Auditions took place earlier this winter for places in the annual competition, with those that made the cut working on their presentations over the last number of weeks, making those last minute preparations for their moment in the spotlight on the main stage.

Previous years have provided for some memorable performances and launched more than a few local musicians, dancers and actors on to larger projects in the community and beyond.

Tickets for Saturday's show are available for ten dollars at the Lester Centre Box office and at Cook's Jewellers.
