Youthfest Talent Showcase is a Variety Show FUNDRAISER for the SLT scholarship program! There will be one $500 check awarded to a junior or senior in high school the evening of Youthfest based on his/her performance in the Talent Showcase (evaluated by area arts professionals)! Other monies raised go directly into scholarships for graduating seniors who have in some way contributed to Springfield Little Theatre either on a performance or technical level. (Scholarship recipients are announced at the Frannies, SLT’s end-of-the-year volunteer celebration.)
There is an individual entrant fee of $20 that must accompany a Youthfest Talent Showcase Audition Form. Please make checks payable to Springfield Little Theatre. Please have your Audition Form completed and in hand at auditions if you have not dropped it by in advance.
Auditions will be held Tuesday, January 2, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Please call Lorianne Dunn at 417-351-3996 or e-mail lorianned@springfieldlittletheatre.org to schedule an audition time. Auditions will be held on the fourth floor of the Landers Theatre, 311 East Walnut, Springfield, MO. Please wear performance attire~your picture will be taken on this day to use in the program should you be cast in the showcase. (If selected to perform, we reserve the right to ask you to edit your piece for appropriateness of dress, content or time if necessary.) Be prepared to present the exact selection that you would like to have considered to be slotted into the showcase. We will be providing a piano accompanist for auditions and the showcase. Please bring your accompaniment cd if you will require a track for your performance. If you are using a cd, please bring a copy that the theatre will keep to burn onto a master in the event that you are cast. No underclassman act should exceed 2 minutes. Junior or senior acts should not exceed 3 minutes. Please cut your pieces appropriately. Please note—we are not looking for “works in progress”. Please audition with your selection performance ready. You will be evaluated “as it is”, not “as it could be.” (If selected to perform in the showcase, we will schedule a coaching session for your piece and we do reserve the right to edit your piece in any way we see fit.)
The cast list will be posted on the doors of the Landers Theatre by noon Wednesday, January 3 and on our website at www. springfieldlittletheatre.org. If you are cast, we congratulate you now!
