Roosevelt’s Got Talent? Every high school student, whether in movies or in real life, has seen the average talent show. One kid sings, another one juggles, and one is convinced the skit they wrote will one day be on Broadway. But.. what happens when everything goes wrong? The singer forgets all the words, the juggler's items fly across the stage, and the skit actors can’t find the right costumes 5 minutes before their call time. If you want to find out and witness a catastrophe of a talent show, come see Roosevelt’s Got Talent?. This weekend, Friday and Saturday at 6:30 pm!
