Get your acts ready because the 5th annual Hampton’s Got Talent is here! The show judges the talented skills of local young adults.

Auditions were held on January 12th, 18th, and 23rd from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm.  This year’s Hampton’s Got Talent is expected to have new contestants featuring young adults ages from 12-15.

Neighborhood staff member of the Southampton Youth Bureau Peter Strecker says, “The whole point of the act is to express your creativity that normally some people won’t do.”

The expectations for this year is to gain more contestants of different acts. Strecker said, “I hope I’m able to see more comedians and magicians, since we usually have dancers and singers perform.”

Hampton’s Got Talent will always have a first, second, and third place. Each earns a prize consisting a gift card relating to some businesses in the town of Southampton.

Come on out on March 17th at the Hampton Bays High School to watch the performers compete in HGT.
