Celebrating the Performing Talents of those with Extra Special Needs

The Extra Special Showcase, a division of the Mid-South Fair Youth Talent Contest, the oldest continually operating amateur talent show in the country, gives performative opportunities to people with special needs to share their talents in a stress-free and non-judgmental environment.

In this showcase, you can perform whatever makes you happiest with no judgment. Everyone wants you to succeed! You might even get a medal for your incredible performance!

Our goal is to share the love of performance to all people—because everyone deserves to step into the spotlight.
