McCallum Opens Doors for 2013 'Open Call'

Local talent showcase to award cash prizes to top entertainers.

The McCallum Theatre is looking for local entertainers as part of the 2013 "Open Call" competition.

This Valley-wide competition, now in it's 15th year, is a perfect opportunity to showcase your talent! If you sing, dance, play an instrument, juggle, perform magic, comedy or any other self-contained novelty act, here’s your chance to perform at the renowned McCallum Theatre and work with a talented cast of local performers and a professional artistic and production team.

There is no cost to enter Open Call. You must be at least 8 years of age and reside within a 45 mile radius of the McCallum. The deadline to submit your materials is December 3, 2012. 

Cash prizes will be awarded to the grand prize ($1,500), 2nd place ($750) and audience choice ($750) award winners.

Finalists will appear on stage at the McCallum Theatre in four performances. At the 7pm performance on Thursday, April 18 and Friday, April 19 and the 2pm performance on Saturday, April 20, the audience will participate by voting. Audience votes will carry the weight of one judge’s vote into the final performance at 7pm on Saturday, April 20, 2013 where winners will be announced.

For more information, please contact Production Manager Joanna Fookes at 760-346-6505, extension 142 or click here.

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. IRead More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.

Dorothy you actually believe criminals can't get guns without a background check. Wow are youRead More naive. Just because YOU don't understand why some people want a particular weapon...does not mean you can impose your ownership standards on someone else. Suppose I suggest you don't need the particular car you drive or the particlar beverage you drink? I see you are opposed to hunting. How do you feel about abortion? Typical liberal double standard at play here??

Totally agree. This is just the beginning of a gun grab. All it will accomplish is furtherRead More restrictions on law abiding citizens. Chicago is a perfect example. Strictest gun control in the nation and highest gun crime and murder rate. Criminals do not comply with the law. Only legal citizens will lose their rights to own the weapon of their choice. Liberals are all about choice when it comes to killing an unborn, but when it comes to a lawful gunowner's choice it's a different story altogether.
