Normally held at Radio City Music Hall, the talent show features more than 100 youth performing in front of family and friends.

In 2020, despite a postponement to the Talent Show, the spirit was kept alive through various virtual performances. For example, The Garden of Dreams Alumni Ensemble performed Andra Day’s Rise Up, and virtual rehearsals benefited from the mentorship of professionals such as Broadway performer Christina Sajous and founding member of Run DMC Darryl “D.M.C.” McDaniels, who provided feedback and encouragement for Talent Show performers.
