MURPHYSBORO, IL (KFVS) - The Historic Liberty Theater in downtown Murphysboro will hold a Youth Talent Show on Saturday, October 27 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Guitar players, dancers, singing groups, skitters, ventriloquists and clowns or any other entertaining skill will have his or her chance to hit the boards.

The Historic Liberty Theater, now on the National Registry of Historic Sites, continues to offer everything from classic  films, live music and plays, gospel artists, to space for public meetings and rentals.
