Oaklawn’s Got Talent
Friday, May 12, 2023 @ 7:30 pm
$10Oaklawn is excited to bring back Oaklawn’s Got Talent for its second year! Join us for a fun evening featuring amazing local acts that will benefit mental health and addiction treatment – all while embracing how strong community and healthy self-expression support mental wellness.
Our judges auditioned nearly 30 local acts and picked the top four – and now, it’s up to our audience to decide who wins! Each attendee will get one vote, and at the conclusion of all our performances, the audience will cast their votes to determine who takes home a grand prize of $5,000 and is named the next winner of Oaklawn’s Got Talent!
Finalists are:
Aerialist duo The Sisters: Maggie and Audrey Zielinski of South Bend discovered aerial arts at Elite Sports Academy in South Bend about five years ago. Audrey, 14, loves the silk, and Maggie, 16, the hoop. During their Oaklawn’s Got Talent performance, one of the longest they’ve ever undertaken, they’ll feature both, allowing the girls to show off their respective strengths.
Modern a cappella group Luminos: For members of the 5-part modern a cappella group Luminos, music is all about bringing the light. The group consists of founding members Josh Maurer and Bethany Miller, Anne Zebell and Jesse and Jessica Maurer, who have performed together since 2021. The group has grown a lot musically, with plans for recording and national performances this year.
Psychological illusionist Jon Wayes: Jon Wayes of Mishawaka is living his childhood dream. He started practicing magic when he was only 8 years old. Today, he travels all over the Midwest as a psychological illusionist – bringing magic and mentalism to audiences of all types.
Singer-songwriter Isabelle Pouya: Isabelle Pouya, 18, of Granger has been a songwriter for as long as she can remember. Current events and social issues are often themes of her songs. She describes her musical style as a blend of pop, modern and blues, and names Adele as her No. 1 influence.
