In tune and in costume, the Weâve Got Talent performers are ready â or not â for their debut curtain call this weekend.

On Saturday, October 9, at 7:30 pm, at Newtown High School, more than 60 participants will take their turn onstage for Newtown Cultural Arts Commissionâs first musical variety show. This fundraising event will celebrate the talents of Newtown residents âacross the generations,â according to the arts commission website at NewtownArtsCommission.org. The night will showcase music, dance, comedy, solo performances, local celebrities, and more.

âThere is entertainment for everyone â come alone, with friends, or with your whole family,â states the website.

Commission member and show coordinator Donna Randle this week looked forward to the evening and the students and hometown celebrities involved with the show. Parents and participant Phyllis Cortese rehearsed during an October 2 event where her sonâs group, The Dylan Cortese Collaboration, performed.

Participants on Saturday evening will include Dr Richard Coopersmith; Dr Robert Golenbock; Dean Snellback, guitarist; Tim McGrath, guitarist and Newtown 12âs baseball coach; Robert Rabinowitz, flutist; Sarah Roman, violin; Susan Lang, guitarist and Newtown Middle School teacher; Martin Steinberg, magician; Kate Katcher, actress; Paige Olson, Miss CT Teen 2010; First Selectman Pat Llodra; Board of Education Chairman William Hart; and Jennifer Johnston, Newtown Cultural Arts Commission Chairman, along with dozens of additional performers.

Go Out And Vote April 23

Supporting Our Kids By Supporting Our Schools

Vote Yes On April 23

All I Ask Is That You Think About It

Let Your Voice Be Heard By Voting No, ‘Too High’

Budget should be cut by 20%, spending $2.65 million dollars per every week forever is absolutely unsustainable ! Do everything possible to Vote No on another nonsensical attempt to increase the cost of living ! Taxpayers are honestly just renting their houses from the town, it costs me $40 every night to sleep in my own bed ! Soon it will be cheaper living in a hotel than owning a property in Newtown !

Finance Board Moves $1 Million From Education Budget

I went and complaint to Rosenthall's father that the budget was too high at $80M several years ago, now we are at almost $140M . $2.65 million per week that is ! Fairfield hills should have long been developed by investors money and bring revenue to the town. WE ARE DRIVING OURSELVES OUT OF NEWTOWN by doing this and constantly raising the cost of living. It makes zero sense, any extra budget money gets burned on stupid stuff just so they can ask for more next year. Put an END TO THIS STUPIDITY and CUT THE BUDGET 20%. Everyone will be just fine ! Kids won't get any smarter anyway. That's an honest reality !

Why You Should Not Vote For The BOE Budget

Any common sensical person can do this job at under 100k salary. Way overhyped and overpaid at over $200k annual salary. We as voters have to put an end to this. Not to mention an assistant comes along with this job paid at 190k! What is wrong with you voters?

Melillo Announces Departure To Darien

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would ever vote to increase their taxes and give their money away.

Difficult To Vote For BOE Budget Without Specifics

The entire budget needs to be cut not raised. The proposed budget now would sit that we spend $2.65 million dollars every week. For population of less than 30k people it is absolutely absurd ! You cannot keep driving older folks out of town just to create a revolving door of parents who come here, educate their kids and run away ! There is no need to be paying 190K annual salary to an ASSISTANT to superintendent, not in the best interest of tax payers ! The voting turnout at 9% is ridiculous ! Lobby lawmakers to change the voting by mail, so everyone gets a ballot in the mail and at least 51% of residents vote to approve, otherwise the budget should not be approved if you don't have the majority ! Most folks don't even know when the vote is ! They have taxes bundled with mortgage and don't even know ! We are raising cost of living for everyone and it is absolutely not necessary.
