By Beth CarrollThree years ago, Leyton Beba auditioned for Morristown Onstage, playing his guitar and singing. “I was so nervous that I immediately forgot all the lyrics,” he remembered. “Needless to say, I didn’t make it.”Those nerves were nowhere in sight on Tuesday night when he joined longtime emcee Tara Bernie at the Mayo Performing Arts Center as the first student co-host in the talent show’s 18-year history. Sixteen amateur acts competed in the fundraiser for the Morris School District.

By Beth CarrollEvery year, the Morris Educational Foundation runs the talent contest Morristown Onstage to raise funds for the Morris School District. Every year, dozens of amateur artists audition, hoping to become one of 16 finalists chosen to compete for cash and glory at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown. And every year, there is quite a bit of variety to the acts. Singers, duets, bands, dancers, even standup comedians. They’ve all been there before.

By Beth CarrollWhen Covid shut down the world and Morristown Onstage was forced to go virtual in 2021, Lily Bauman felt a little relieved. While she has always loved singing, the thought of performing in front of a sold-out crowd at the Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) was daunting for someone who was only 10 years old. But she is a finalist again this year and, at 14, is more than ready for the challenge.
