Deadline for entries & uploads: May 31, 2021
Great news for young talent on our entertainment scene! Entries have opened for Starz at Home Season 3, proudly supported by Gateway. With the addition of hands-on weekend workshops – the next runs on May 29 and 30, 2021 - the new season promises to be even bigger and better than its forerunners.
Starz at Home Season 3 builds on the success of the two groundbreaking talent search projects for aspirant young South African performers who were launched online last year by acclaimed actress, singer and musical theatre coach, Lisa Bobbert. Bobbert’s brainchild project attracted hundreds of entries from across South Africa, even the UK, setting it on its path to become a household brand. Bobbert and her team are delighted once again to renew ties with Gateway Theatre of Shopping.
