"Hi, I'm Sudbury's Sabrina! I've loved performing for as long as I can remember and have been singing and entertaining all my life. Usually, you'll find me doing karaoke with my family, but lately I've been inspired to step out on my own and share my passion with a wider audience. As a huge fan of Sabrina Carpenter, I've created Sudbury's Sabrina as a tribute act inspired by her music, confidence, and fun stage presence. I'm doing this talent show to promote myself as an entertainer for parties, community events, and special occasions, while gaining experience and having fun along the way."

"As a Drag performer under the stage name Pup Khai (just Khai for all ages audiences) I use a combination of lipsyncing, costumes, make-up, props, choreographed interpretative dance, and pantomime to express myself through music to the audience through direct interaction or on stage performance art. It would be amazing to be able to show off my talents as a dancer and performer in your talent show."

"My name is Elizabeth Tessier, I am a soon to be Grade 11 student from Sudbury. 

I love performing, I have been in a few musical theatre shows with Biggest Little Theatre Company including Suessical Jr., Mean girls Jr., and most recently Into The Woods Jr.. I primarily enjoy singing. I am a vocal arts student at Sudbury Secondary. I sometimes like to sing with my two sisters and mom, we like to create harmonies together and try different songs. Another one of my favourite things to do is playing the acoustic guitar. I like to learn new songs and be able to make my own sound entirely, it really helps me to express myself. 

Other than performing, I enjoy playing video games, helping people (volunteering, helping my parents, etc.), and playing with my two pet rats Peggy and Petunia. 

I am so excited to be apart of this amazing talent show to demonstrate my own skills as well as to support and lift up all of the other talented performers! "

Despite every obstacle, Anisha has never allowed her health challenges to define or limit her. She is a fighter with an incredible passion for performing, and she is excited to take the stage and compete in the Sudbury Talent Show.
