Variety Show

Variety Show Information The 2008 GSLAHE Variety Show will be held Thursday night - April 10 And…. We will be having two separate Variety Shows!! 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm and   7:30 pm – 8:30 pm Having two show times will allow people to be able to watch one Variety Show and have time to participate in the free vendor shopping night as well. This year, if you would like to participate in the Variety Show, you will need to participate in an audition.

AUDITIONS FOR VARIETY SHOW In an effort to include homeschoolers from all over the greater St. Louis area, we will be offering auditions in five areas across the region.  Anyone interested in auditioning must submit an application You can print one right from the website by clicking this link: Variety Show Application

VARIETY!  VARIETY!!  VARIETY!!! Remember, we are looking for variety with this show.  Singers, clowns, comedy acts, violinists, brass bands, musical instruments, etc.  We are also looking for acts that have larger groups of children in them. That does not mean that soloists cannot audition. We will have some soloists. It means that we want to be able to represent as many homeschooled children as possible in the two hours of variety shows, so multiple children acts are encouraged.

RULES FOR VARIETY SHOW PARTICIPATION Groups of performers are preferred over single acts. All individuals, whether solo or in a group, must be currently being homeschooled. No one will be considered without submitting an application. Applications must be postmarked no later than Saturday, February 8.  No applications will be accepted with later postmarks.  No exceptions. Age preference is 12 and up. Placement in the Variety Show is totally in the hands of the GLSAHE Variety Show organizers. Anyone auditioning must be able to commit to a rehearsal during the week of the conference (on either a Monday or Tuesday afternoon or evening) and to being available from 4:30 -9:00 p.m. on the evening of the performance.   Variety is the key.  If a child does not make placement into the show this decision does not mean that he or she was not good enough.  It does, however, guarantee that we will not have twenty of the same act.

WHERE CAN I AUDITION??? We have set up five different audition locations, each in a different part of town, so that we could reach as many people as possible.  Please read the list located on this page (click here: MAPS) and figure out which one works for you.  We ask that you indicate your top three preferences when you fill out your application.  We will do everything possible to give you your top choice for audition locations, but if that location is filled when we get your application, you will then get your next choice.  So, get your applications in early!  The deadline for submitting  applications is February 8, 2008.  All application envelopes must be postmarked by that date for you to participate in the audition.
