🚨🚨🚨🚨 ATTENTION: Seniors Got Talent Has Been Cancelled

🚨🚨🚨🚨

We regret to inform you that the Seniors Got Talent showcase has been cancelled.

While we received submissions, the lineup wasn’t varied enough to create the vibrant, high-quality show our seniors and community deserve. Rather than move forward with a limited program, we’ve chosen to step back this year and focus on future opportunities to celebrate seniors in a bigger, more meaningful way.

We deeply appreciate the interest, support, and encouragement shown by our community, and we understand this may be disappointing news. Senior Resource Partners remains committed to creating meaningful opportunities for seniors and their families.

👉 Please stay connected at SeniorResourcePartners.com and on our Facebook page for updates on future events.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Want to Perform?

Here’s What You Need to Know

We’re looking for seniors who want to share their gifts—whether you sing, dance, tell jokes, play an instrument, or have another talent to showcase. No professional experience needed—just heart and courage!

Video auditions will be accepted from July 7, 2025 to August 25, 2025.

Deadline: August 25, 2025 at 11:59 PM to be considered.

Live Show : October 2025
Live Show Location: Final venue will be announced by September 1st. It will be held on the Illinois side of the Quad Cities. We’re finalizing the best space based on the performers' needs and audience size. Thanks for your patience!

Audition Guidelines:

To participate, you must be age 55 or older. We welcome all kinds of talents including singing, instruments, dance, comedy, and variety acts. Each performance should be under 4 minutes. Submit a short audition video — phone recordings are perfectly fine.

Group acts are allowed ( 6 members max), but at least half (50%) of the performers must be age 55 or older. All performances must be family-friendly with no profanity, inappropriate content, or animal acts.
