New Castle Playhouse’s annual Stars of Tomorrow show is now in its 13th year. The talent show for students keeps getting bigger. “Each year we see a rise in acts from school outside of Lawrence County,” said Vaughn Hudspath, who has directed the show since its inception. Hudspath believes this year’s show could top them all. “I don’t know if it’s because we have such a diverse group of young people ranging from musicians, vocalists to dancers,” he said on the NCP Web site. “This year we have two young people who could be dancers on ‘Dancing With The Stars.’ We just have it all this year. I wouldn’t miss this for the world.” There will be two performances: 2 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available in advance by calling (724) 654-3437. The playhouse is at 202 E. Long Ave.
