    VENTNOR, NJ, August 22, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- TheSEEN.com Spotlight Tour is an opportunity exclusive to theSEEN.com members who have created showcases on www.theseen.com. We are offering our talent "a special moment in time" to showcase themselves (maybe for the first time) to an anxious and welcoming audience in an exciting and unique live-show format.

The first-ever Spotlight Tour Bus departs Ann Arbor, MI on August 20th en-route to a three-day, three venue, 4-show event in Atlantic City, NJ, Margate, NJ, and New York City, NY. These venues include Atlantic City's Historic Steel Pier, (Thursday, August 23rd - showtimes 1pm and 7pm) which has housed major performers such as Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra. The second event, Friday, August 24th will be at the beautiful Margate Performing Arts Center in Margate, NJ (doors open at 6:30 for 7pm show)

Both of the New Jersey venues are FREE shows!

The tour will end with the final event on Saturday, August 24th at the 3,000 seat, Famous United Palace Theatre in New York City, NY,which is known for appearances by celebrated artists such as Adele, Jennifer Hudson, the Allman Brothers, and Alicia Keys. Doors open at 7pm - show time is 7:30.

Along the way, "Team SEEN" (a crew of 8 from theSEEN.com) will make pre-scheduled stops at radio stations and local venues for the purpose of spreading the word and screening for additional talent! As an official sponsor of the Youth United 4 Peace Tour (which stars the entire cast of the new original musical web series"The Garage"), theSEEN tour bus and crew will travel to all three venues in support of "Young Talent". The Youth United 4 Peace Tour is comprised of teen/tween heartthrob, singer and movie star Austin Powell and teen pop music sensations POV, who will perform live at all four events.

Brandon Tomesello (a current headliner in Atlantic City and also a theSEEN.com talent) ) will emcee the New Jersey events. Maria Davis (renowned HIV and Youth activist in New York) and Cindy Margolis (The "most downloaded woman on the Internet", and current star of ABC Family's Beverly Hills Nannies) will emcee the New York event. The cast of The Garage and members of theSEEN.com will also participate in the day long United Palace Cathedral's "Let's Move" Back To School Community Fair. (starting at 1:pm on Saturday August 25th), promoting awareness and assisting at this event by handing out school supplies to area youth.

In addition to The Garage cast, the shows will feature performances by up and coming theSEEN.com artists Tyler and Dylan Reed, Dymond Harding, Euro, Jasmin Waites and Mykal Williams as well as other area talent. As a special treat, United Palace Cathedral's own Dance Troup, KLASS will perform at the NYC show.

Both NJ events are FREE to the public but we are asking for donations of clothing and canned goods to support local New Jersey Goodwill shelters and donations of used cell phones and chargers in support of the Verizon Hopeline Project.
