All ages and all talents are welcome to try out. Arrive by 5:45 p.m. on Thursday and 1:45 p.m. on Saturday to get your audition number. The audition will be set up in a performance-style setting, so plan to stay for the duration of the auditions.

Specify on your application form which day you will be auditioning. A limited number of acts will be chosen to perform at the Talent Show, to be held at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, June 21, on the Gardiner Waterfront (rain date is Sunday, June 22 at 2 p.m. at Johnson Hall).

Four prizes will be awarded at the Talent Show: People’s Choice Prize is $200; Adult is $100, Teen (13-17) is $100 and Junior (12 and under) is $100.

Audition applicants should bring their accompanying music, if required, and any CDs or MP3s should have the music only. Audition pieces should be presented complete with costumes and/or props, exactly as you would appear at the Talent Show itself.

All acts are welcome – bands, poets, storytellers, variety acts, dancers, magicians – the sky’s the limit. No one will be accepted into the talent show without an audition, however, and final contestants will be determined by a panel of judges.

Those selected will go on to compete in the Talent Show. This is an amateur event. Audition applications are available at Johnson Hall, email [email protected] or download from www.johnsonhall.org. Application deadline is Wednesday, April 30. Call 207-582-7144 for more information.
