Bo Thorp knows a little bit about talent. As the artistic director of
the Cape Fear Regional Theatre since its inception, Thorp has seen many
talented individuals tread the boards at the
theatre. Some of them have made their mark
locally and regionally, while others have
gone on to grace the stages of Broadway.
So it’s with a history of making
stars, that Thorp is issuing a countywide
invitation to anyone who has ever dreamed
of performing on the stage. Their backdrop,
the first ever Fayetteville’s Got Talent
competition.
{mosimage}Thorp, and company, came up with
the idea as a precursor to the new season.
“It’s a way to get some new blood into the
theatre,” said Thorp. “There are a lot of
people who would never come to a formal
audition for one of our plays, but we can get
them to come to this more informal setting
and show us what they’ve got.”
So, if you can sing, dance or balance
plates in the air, the CFRT wants to see
you!
“This is your chance to be on our
stage,” says Thorp, adding that no
previous acting experience is necessary
to participate.

talent appeals to you, here’s what you
