Talent Machine Show

Our summer 2026 youth show — The Talent Machine — featured an amazing cast of performers ages 7 to 14. And according to the MD Theatre Guide Review, the production:

…showcases impressive youth talent bringing the themes of confidence, courage, and belief in oneself to the forefront.

The show told the story of a group of ordinary kids in Annapolis who discover the real magic of talent: that it lives inside all of us. With a little ability, a bit of confidence and a lot of hard work, anything is possible.

Enjoy the show’s trailer below:

This Show Was Truly a Family Affair. Fun facts from this production: Our director, assistant director, one of the co-music directors and nine of our guest choreographers were Talent Machine Company alumni; most performed in past productions of The Talent Machine Show; and the director and one choreographer are now on the Company’s Board of Directors.
