Event Details

Last year, Shubert Theatre launched a new initiative to recognize the unbelievable talent of artists within the city. Talent from nearly every artistic form—music, dance, spoken word, visual art—was celebrated on our stage and throughout the theatre. In addition to the accolades from those in attendance, we discovered that this city is bursting with talent to be recognized and celebrated. As we continue to showcase artists, each Elm City’s Finest event is going to focus on an artistic discipline. We are delighted to return this fall to celebrate the outstanding singing talent within the city, and invite submissions from eligible individuals.

We are currently reviewing submissions and will post and update in the near future.
