The number of contestants dwindled Monday at Chautauqua’s Got Talent, held at The Spire Theater.

It’s time for the semifinals.

Spire Theater Artistic Director and Producer Angelo Valentino said as the competition progresses, the judges and audience members are continually impressed by the level of talent on display.

“It’s clear that these performers have worked hard to perfect their acts and we can’t wait to see what they bring to the stage in the semifinals,” Valentino said.
