Experience the brilliance, resilience, and rising talent of Roanoke’s youth at Talent in the Star 2025 — the grand finale of Total Action for Progress (TAP) and This Valley Works’ Tomorrow’s Leaders summer program.

Centered on the empowering theme “Shine Through the Pressure,” this inspiring showcase celebrates the creativity and determination of local middle and high school students as they take the stage with powerful performances in singing, dancing, spoken word, music, and more. Produced entirely by the students — from tech and marketing to performance — this event is more than a talent show. It’s a statement of purpose, courage, and community pride.

Whether it’s their first time on stage or their next big step, your presence matters. Families, friends, and community members are invited to come out and support the next generation of leaders, artists, and changemakers.

The evening will conclude with cash prizes and the crowning of this year’s King or Queen of the Mountain — awarded to standout performers who exemplify growth, talent, and presence.

Don’t miss this unforgettable night of passion, performance, and possibility. Join us and witness the future of Roanoke in motion.
