PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!

Pittsburgh Idol

Okay, no quite American Idol, but this is an impressive event showing off some of Pittsburgh’s best young performers.

On Tuesday, January 15th, the Union Project hosts another Youth Talent Showcase. 

At last month’s Talent Showcase the judges and crowd were offered outstanding performances including local dance troupes, emerging hiphop artists, and solo vocalists. We are taking slot reservations for students. Just send an email to hilary@unionproject.org , titled “Contestant” with the name and talent of the youth participating. There will be some slots left open for walk-in contestants the night of the event.

“We hope to be a positive part of the community and provide a place for neighbors to meet, chat, and relax. We hope to make wholesome food and quality coffee, teas, and juices available to our community and strive to obtain as many local, organic, natural, and/or fairly traded ingredients and products as possible. We aren’t trying to for anything too fancy or complicated. We are just ordinary folks, who have never done this before figuring it out as we go along and appreciate the support of our neighbors.”

Hoi Polloi opened last week and they have fresh juices, smoothies, and a small vegetarian menu. Check’em out!
