While a search for the stars usually entails keeping your eye trained skyward, locals hoping to find stars of the musical variety will be at the E.A Rawlinson Centre this Sunday.

SaskTel’s Search for the Stars is about to have it’s 2020 incarnation.

“We’ll have literally everything. We’ve got musical theatre, country, rap, some R&B as well as some original music,” Cara Stelmaschuk, the marketing and event co-ordinator for the E.A. Rawlinson Centre told paNOW.

Performers from the age of five, all the way to 18 will take to the stage for cash prizes as well as the opportunity to win a recording session. According to Stelmaschuk though, the young artists are able to take part in something much more valuable.

“It’s more than just getting through and getting to the showcase and winning those prizes, we’re actually giving them a full day workshop,” which took place on Jan. 12, she noted.
