Brownwood's Got Talent - Round 1 Public Auditions

Brownwood’s Got Talent (BGT) is back at the Lyric Theatre — and it’s bigger, bolder, and more meaningful than ever!

Modeled after the hit TV show America’s Got Talent, BGT is an annual, year-long talent competition and fundraiser benefiting the ARK Women’s Shelter. This is your chance to discover incredible local talent, cheer them on from the very beginning, and play a direct role in who advances — all while supporting a vital cause in our community.

These first two shows are Open Call Public Auditions, where performers of all ages and talents take the Lyric stage for their shot at moving forward. Singers, dancers, musicians, comedians, magicians, novelty acts — if it’s entertaining, it belongs here! You’ll see raw talent, big dreams, and unforgettable moments as contestants compete to advance to the next round.

Here’s where you come in:

Audience members don’t just watch — you vote. Voting is done through paid votes, with 100% of proceeds benefiting the ARK, and voting remains open throughout the entire year to maximize fundraising. Your ticket gives you a front-row seat to the excitement, and your vote helps decide who moves on to the Semifinals and ultimately the Grand Finale.

The BGT journey:

• Open Call Public Auditions (March 14 & May 9)
• Semifinals (September 26)
• Grand Finale (November 20)

Whether you’re there to support a favorite performer, discover new talent, or simply enjoy a high-energy night of entertainment for a great cause, Brownwood’s Got Talent is a feel-good event where your applause and charity truly matters.

Join us at the Lyric Theatre and help crown Brownwood’s next great talent — one vote at a time!
