An upcoming audition night at the Vail-Leavitt theater could prove whether Riverhead\u2019s Got Talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

East End residents of all ages with performance skills to showcase are being encouraged to audition at an amateur talent night competition on June 22 at Riverhead\u2019s Vail-Leavitt Music Hall<\/a>, complete with \u2018America\u2019s Got Talent\u2019-style judges who will offer feedback and rate the participants in front of a live audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winner of the event will receive a cash prize and be featured in a lineup of professional comedians and musicians a month later at the East End Standup Music and Comedy festival on July 22 at the non-profit music hall on Peconic Ave. Comedian Turner Sparks is the scheduled headliner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is the brainchild of Riverhead\u2019s Mark McLaughlin, who emcees the town\u2019s Halloween parade and Cardboard Boat Race, and Downtown Business Improvement District executive director Kristy Verity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. McLaughlin, a veteran performer and entertainer who teaches blues and hip-hop classes at East End Arts, is spearheading the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a local artist, people come up to me all the time and ask me, ‘can I help their brother who plays guitar or their cousin who sings,’\u201d Mr. McLaughlin said. \u201cI thought let me create something fun where they can compete and we can give them feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s a comedian, a poet, a dancer, a juggler, any kind of talent from the East End, we want to shine a light on them,” he added. “One of our goals is to find the next Beyonce or the next Carrie Underwood or other superstar out of the East End.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event\u2019s judges will include Mr. McLaughlin, Ms. Verity and WLIW radio host Gianna Volpe.<\/p>\n\n\n

Citing the ongoing \u201cSave the Vail<\/a>\u201d fundraising and restoration efforts, Ms. Verity said the talent contest will \u201clend some much-needed soul and support to this gem\u201d of a venue. \u201cMark and I are really excited to share this memorable event with our talented community members.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music hall is a former opera house founded in 1881 and is listed on the National & State Register of Historic Places. In May, 1914, the theater played host to Thomas Edison\u2019s experiments with \u201ctalking motion pictures,\u201d helping give rise to the modern movie industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. McLaughlin said that while he anticipates that there will be some screening of the aspiring performers before the June 22 event, \u201cwe welcome walk-ins.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the feedback from judges could be valuable to the aspiring performers. \u201cWe look to help them,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd if they don\u2019t make it, at least we give them some advice so that they can win the next time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doors will open for the audition contest at the Vail-Leavitt at 6:30 pm on June 22. It\u2019s free for performers who participate. The first 50 guests will pay a $10 admission fee at the door for a two-hour show that will include two-to-three minute performances plus feedback from the judges for each contestant. The $10 admission price includes a complimentary glass of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Event sponsors include Peconic\u2019s Raphael Winery and Schwertl\u2019s Collision in Smithtown, Mr. McLaughlin said, adding that a portion of the proceeds will go to into a fund to save the Vail-Leavitt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
