The Theatre Company of Saugus was excited to present its Youth Talent Showcase “Hey… Look What I Can Do!”  Twenty or more talented kids, all under 18 years old, sang, danced, told jokes, played musical instruments, and did improvisation.  This was a great opportunity to see what the next generation of entertainers is capable of.

The show featured songs in many styles:  pop, torch, and from musicals; the classic comedy sketch “Who’s On First?”; original choreography created by the kids; improvisations by “Needs Improvment”, the troupe from Saugus High School; and some surprise guest appearances.

There were only two performances of “Hey… Look What I Can Do!”, on Friday 14 June 2013 at 7:30 PM, and on Saturday 15 June, starting at 2:00 PM.  The location was the East Saugus United Methodist Church  /  85 Chestnut Street  /  Saugus, Massachusetts  01906.  Tickets are $10 each.
