'Live From the Newroom' takes on 'The Vocalist'

Excuse me while I limber up my vocal cords.

We'll be out on the road again tonight as we head back to Media, which is not only the county seat but the county hot spot on Wednesday nights.

We were there a couple of weeks ago to kick off their Wednesday night tradition of 'Dining Under the Stars,' when they shut down State Street and borough restaurants set up their tables in the middle of what just a few minutes before a main thoroughfare. It was a blast.

Tonight we're headed back to Media for another great summer tradition in the borough.

We'll be at the Media Theatre, serving as the opening act for Week 2 of their summer talent competition 'The Vocalist.' You might remember this contest by its former name, 'Delco Idol.'

It showcases some of the most talented singers from the region.

We'll be joined by some of the Media Theatre stalwarts, including Jesse Cline, the theatre's artistic director who serves as the primary judge for the competition, as well as a very familiar face. Sue Serio, the weather anchor from Fox-29, serves as emcee for the show. Sue knows all about the treasure of the Media Theatre. She and her husband, TV sports guy Bill Vargus, have starred in shows there.

We'll also talk to some of the kids set to perform.

After the show, it will be my honor to serve as one of the guest judges for tonight's competition.

Note that because 'The Vocalist' competition starts at 7, our 'Live From the Newsroom' show will air at a special time. We'll be live on DelcoTimes.com from 6:30-7.

Join us!
