More Info:
We are looking for a variety of singing, dancing, musical instruments, comedy routines, magic, or gymnastics with a travel theme - States, Cities, or transportation. Entertainers can be solo, duets, or small groups. There is no compensation for participation.
​
Entertainers will practice on their own and have their own materials. They need to check with us about playing music on our sound system. Limit 2 acts per person (for solo or part of a duet. We are looking for a good variety. Songs will not be repeated, so auditions should be sent ASAP to ensure your song choice. Contact Donna Hall to see which songs are taken.
Performers are encouraged to wear a t-shirt from vacation. Team shirts (like Detroit Tigers) can be worn if vacation shirts are not available, or wear red, white, and blue. Groups may use a costume or uniform that they already have. We will try to accommodate performers who can only attend one show. We will keep a list of backup acts if needed, so let us know if you are interested.
Dress rehearsal on Thursday, May 28th at 7:00 PM. Entertainers may sit in the house to watch the show during dress rehearsal. The finale will be "This Land is Your Land" sung by all performers together.
