“Gateway to Stardom” & “Aspire to Stardom” are non-profit talent competitions that are held in Clarksville, TN two times a year. These shows strive to bring Tennessee and Kentucky’s most talented kids into the spotlight and give them a chance to showcase their talent.  The best part of all is that this show is free to all participants.;  free to audition, free to perform and free exposure.

The Lucky Chosen Ones will perform not only to all festival goers at Rivers & Spires (April) and RiverFest (September), but also to Talent Agents and Managers who can help them pursue a career in singing and dancing. The audition judges sit through hours and hours of performances. Only 25-30 children are chosen from the 1000’s of hopefuls who audition. The lucky ones get to showcase their talents at Rivers & Spires or RiverFest in front of large crowds, Recording Stars, TV crews and Talent Scouts and Managers.

Since many of the children have no formal training and are going on just raw talent, this is a HUGE step for them and many go on to become professional entertainers. These shows are changing the lives of children, giving them a venue to perform and helping them to connect with those that truly can help them enter the “Gateway to Stardom”.
