New York Senior America is currently inviting women 60 years or older who best exemplify the qualities of the modern, dynamic senior to audition for their upcoming July 29th pageant, which will be held at the Madison Theatre at Molloy College in Rockville Centre. The winning queen will receive a crown, sash and a cash reward.
The purpose of Senior America is to engage in programs and activities that dispel the myths of aging by enhancing the lives of senior Americans. Each year, they host a pageant to select that special woman who will best represent the state of New York.
Auditions will be held in March, April and May at the Massapequa Bar Harbor Library, 40 Harbor Lane in Massapequa Park. There will be an array of talent on display, including singers, dancers, musicians and comediennes. This is the first step to compete in the national pageant in Atlantic City.
The 2018 pageant seeks candidates who exhibit charm, dignity, inner beauty, grace, accomplishments and enthusiasm, among other winning qualities. Contestants will be judged in four categories: personal interview, evening gown presentation, philosophy of life, and talent. Those who successfully pass the auditions will compete in the Ms. New York Senior America Pageant and the winner will move on to the national pageant.
To participate in the audition, call NYSA State Director Marleen Schuss at 516-678-3242 or via e-mail marleenschuss@aol.com for an appointment time and date. For more information about the pageant, visit the website at www.newyorksenioramerica.org.
