Show began in the mid 1960’s
when the parents of the late Tim Weigel (Channel 2 Sports) was
a student at LFHS. They suggested that a Talent Show could make
a very successful fund raiser. Mr. and Mrs. Weigel who started
Channel 26 in Chicago, were the first directors and they brought
in two professional entertainers to be the first MC’s. These
were Two Ton Baker, a Chicago nightclub entertainer and Ken Nordine,
creator of Word Jazz and a staple of Chicago Jazz radio. Other
well known examples of famous MC’s are Vince Vaughn and Paul
Boese who were Talent Show MC’s for two years in the late1980’s.
Vince has gone on to a successful film career and Paul is now a
well known script writer living in Los Angeles. Forty years later,
Talent Show is still going strong providing over $25,000 per year
for the APT to use towards enhancing educational opportunities
at LFHS. Talent Show is not only great entertainment but has been
a successful training ground for LFHS students who are extremely
proficient in the theatrical arts. Many LFHS graduates and Talent
Show Alumni work professionally in theater, film and television
all over the world.
