Event Description

Northeast Ohio’s beloved solo-singing competition is back for the 9th year! Shining Star CLE provides talented high school vocalists a chance to shine on stage at Playhouse Square and compete for a total of $18,500 in college scholarships.

Join us for The Finals, a dazzling show featuring the Top 10 Finalists and 2 alternates in a professionally produced performance led by Artistic Director Connor Bogart O’Brien and Emcee Monica Robins from WKYC.

A celebrity panel of judges will select the Top 4 performers.  Then it is your turn! You, the audience, along with the judges, vote for the scholarship winners!

Presented by KeyBank and hosted by Mandel JCC, Shining Star CLE brings our community together for a night of inspiration while also raising meaningful funds to grow creative youth programming and enhance aging-in-place senior services.

Don’t miss this unforgettable evening!
