The re-invention of the Oscar-winning movie FAME could unlock the doors of opportunity for another talented handful across the country.
That's the hope when Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, N.J. host one of the FAME National Talent Search Multi-city Tours this weekend. Six Flags spokeswoman Angel Aristone says they're teaming up with MGM Studios in conjunction with the release of the movie to give performers a chance at their big break. She says they're accepting 400 qualifying registrants when sign ups start at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.
"On August 8th we're having the big audition in the park and we're picking the top ten best from that audition and they will move on to the semi-finals on August 9th. And then the top pick on that day is going to be headed to L.A. for the final contest."
Aristone says similar competitions are taking place at six of their theme parks throughout the country where seven finalist will be selected.
The Grand Prize includes a five-day trip to Hollywood for an exclusive meeting with a top talent agent and studio executive, a photo spread in OK! Magazine, $5,000 dollars and inclusion of their winning live performance in the FAME DVD.
Aristone encourages anyone who can sing, dance or play an instrument to audition. She says, "Sunday's semi-finals also includes a special performance by V-Factory featuring FAME'S Asher Book who plays "Marco," a charismatic singer pursuing his dream."
