Fifteen contestants took the stage on Jan. 15 for the latest round of Aqua Idol, a singing competition to benefit Waterfront Playhouse.
The contest, modeled on the hit TV show “American Idol,” features various performers each week whose performance is judged by the audience and their donations in support of each singer.
All donations benefit the Waterfront Playhouse at Mallory Square.
The competition lasts eight weeks, and takes place Mondays at 6 p.m. at Aqua Nightclub through March 4, when the 2024 Aqua Idol will be crowned.
Contestants include Claire Caplan, Betty Caraway, Gregory Fisher, Trey Forsythe, Jerry Hughes, Floyd Jenkins, Bahama Bob Leonard, Wilhelmina Lopez-Martin, Jimmy Olson, Jordan Sommer, Jim Speake, Adam Stamper, Joe Tripp, Maria Wallace and Mariah Woessner.
