From singers and dancers to musicians, comedians, and more—this is your chance to shine. Seniors do not have to be Morning Pointe residents to audition, and group acts of up to six are welcome.
Up to 12 finalists will be selected to perform on stage at the historic Franklin Theatre, where they’ll compete for: $1,000 – First Place, $500 – Second Place, $250 – Third Place, and People’s Choice Award (determined by audience vote)
“We have sold out at our show for the last two years, and it seems like each year, the talent just gets better and better,” said Miranda Perez, Morning Pointe Foundation executive director. “We can’t wait to see what talented seniors will try out this year. And besides celebrating our performers, we are celebrating that dozens of deserving students have benefitted directly from the funds raised at Seniors Got Talent Franklin.”
Morning Pointe Seniors Got Talent isn’t just a celebration of timeless talent—it’s also a powerful fundraiser for the Morning Pointe Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to advancing senior care through education and community partnerships. Proceeds from sponsorships, ticket sales, and People’s Choice votes directly support scholarships in nursing and allied health fields at schools across Tennessee, including TCAT–Williamson, Motlow State Community College, and Columbia State Community College.
