The event on March 23 is open to young singers aged 6 to 14 and will offer prizes worth more than $100 to winners in two age groups. “As a kid I would take over the living room and belt out ‘I’m the Greatest Star’ and dream of being on stage,” said Taylor Bartolucci, who will play Fanny Brice in Funny Girl. “So it seems like a great idea to give some young area singers a chance to have some fun and enjoy those same dreams.” The competition is limited to 30 contestants, and the deadline to apply is Monday, March 11.
