This popular event raises funds for DET’s Technical Theatre Internship and Scholarship Program. Since its founding 2011, DET has awarded $39,250 in scholarship support to high school students moving on to higher education. The evening is supported by David Hood and George Sellers.  In this fun, fast-paced singing competition, popular local professional singers perform a number and also mentor distinguished community volunteers to perform a song of their choice with verve and polish. The winner will be determined by the audience. All tickets include a pre-and post- performance reception at the theatre catered by Willie Rhine of Eight4Nine Restaurant. This year’s coaches include Broadway veterans Tim Ewing and Leslie Tinnaro; local musical theatre star Tod Macofsky (Desert Theatricals, PS Underground); and popular Desert singers Darci Daniels (The Purple Room), Bonnie G (PS Cultural Center’s “Razzle Dazzle”) and Kim Schroeder Long (PS Underground, Revolution Stage Company).
