Jessica Power said; “I wanted to host a fundraiser for DSK that celebrated World Down Syndrome Day and showcased our talents. So, I brainstormed a few ideas with my friends and we came up with a musical production idea. I pitched the idea to the fundraising committee and they loved it.”
Creative Director Joe Burkett will be putting the contestants through their paces over the next few weeks ahead of the big show.
“I am thrilled to be back working with DSK and preparing the contestants for Stars in the Eyes,” said Joe.
“The idea came about from chatting with Jessica, so on the night you’ll be treated to performances from Abba, Tina Turner and Westlife, to name but a few. Rehearsals have begun in earnest and the contestants are working extremely hard to perfect their routines. It promises to be a fantastic show.”
Tickets will cost €20 and will be available from Down Syndrome Kerry Office at Balloonagh Estate in Tralee (call 066 710 3804) and from any of the participants.
