New Voices Auditions was amazing!

The 2018 New Voices Awards auditions were held at the WCCA TV studio on Tuesday, October 30th.  We had many talented singers who performed extremely well in front of judges, lights and cameras!

Our three judges, Amanda Carr, Cliff Goodwin and Victor Infante were impressed with each singer and had the difficult task of selecting the five contestants who will move on to the semi-finals.

Tune into WCCA TV channel 194 to watch the auditions as well as the semi-finals and the final performances.  These young voices will leave you in awe with their incredible talent.

Do you have a question for Buddy The Elf?

WCCA TV’s “FRONT ROW” will be interviewing Buddy, The Elf when he comes to Worcester’s Hanover Theatre on November 10!

Do you or your kids have a question for Buddy? Send it to tracy@wccatv.com and we just might ask YOUR QUESTION on air!

Based on the beloved 2003 New Line Cinema hit, ELF the Musical is the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported back to the North Pole. Unaware that he is actually human, Buddy’s enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father, discover his true identity and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. This modern day Christmas classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner ELF.

Tune into WCCA TV “The People’s Channel” 194 or at www.wccatv.com for upcoming episodes of FRONT ROW.
