Hosted by legendary DJ King Robb, the Big Jam will bring together individuals and groups to showcase their unique skills and talents across a wide range of disciplines, including singing, dancing, acting, comedy, magic, instrumental music, spoken word, poetry, martial arts, visual arts, hip hop, country, and more.
More than just a night of entertainment, the Big Jam Talent Showcase provides a platform for performers to build confidence, refine their skills, and gain valuable experience performing in front of a live audience. For many participants, the showcase serves as a stepping stone toward personal and professional growth while encouraging creativity, self-expression, and community connection.
About The Lerner Theatre:
The Lerner Theatre, an Elkhart landmark, is part of a revival, a new era for the arts, commerce and life in the heart of our community. The Lerner Theatre is a 100-year-old city owned and operated facility, built in 1924. With the completion of an $18-million-dollar renovation in 2011, The Lerner Theatre has truly put the “heart” back in downtown Elkhart. The Lerner is evidence of this rebirth with its timeless, never-lost quality of an old theatre reborn as a state-of-the-art performance and event facility.
