Sumter’s Got Talent

If you’re not doing anything on Feb. 26th, you need to head on over to Patriot Hall. And if you already have other plans, you might want to reconsider and still join us. It’s time for the annual Sumter Arts Showcase, and I promise you will not find anything better.

For 13 years now, Miss Libby’s School of Dance has organized this Showcase to raise money for The Tuomey Foundation. And they have done an outstanding job! They have contributed more than $175,000 to hospital-related projects through the Sumter Arts Showcase and its generous sponsors, including the Sumter Junior Welfare League. This year, all proceeds are designated to enhance infant and newborn care in the nurseries at Tuomey.

The Broadway-style variety show is simply something you don’t want to miss. Of course, it has some of the best dancers in our community, but it’s even more than that. There is music, theater, comedy, the Sumter-Shaw Community Concert Band, Lakewood and Sumter high schools and the Alice Drive Baptist Church Choir. It has something for everyone.

And we all know “Miss” Libby Singleton, and we thank her for the wonderful vision and inspiration. And her co-owners, Seth and Jennifer Reimer, are doing an incredible job as the new kids on the block. This is their second year co-producing the show, and it just keeps getting better. (And we’ll never forget that this is the brainchild of former owner Debbie Bowen. We miss you Debbie!)

With more than 100 performers in the show, I’m certain you’ll find something you love. So make plans now to join us! If you want more information, or want to go ahead and buy your tickets now, contact The Tuomey Foundation at (803) 774-9014 or Miss Libby's School of Dance at (803) 469-8277. You will not be disappointed!
