Local singers are vying to be crowned Marshall County’s Ultimate Diva or Divo at Dueling Divas and Divos Saturday, November 11, at the Lee Dam Center for Fine Art, Marysville.  The competition starts at 7 p.m.

Each performer will sing a song either accompanied by a pianist or by a back-up track.  Once they have performed, audience members will determine the winner with their money — the contestant with the most donations will walk away with this year’s title.

The divas and divos perform a show-stopping number that reflects their personality. 

The event has two acts.  The first act features the performances by the divas and divos.  During intermission, audience members vote for their favorite performer with their money.  The event is a fundraiser for the arts cooperative; the diva or divo receiving the most monetary donations will be crowned the winner.

The second act opens with a performance by last year’s reigning Diva, Laura Thoreson.  She won the 202s competition.

Following his performance, there will be a live auction. 

After the auction, Marshall County’s Ultimate Diva or Divo will be crowned.  The winner receives a special crown and the honor of performing at the 2023 competition.  

Tickets will go on sale in late September
