I Want To Showcase: NOW CLOSED (deadline to apply is May 1, 2022 @ 11:55 PM EST)

A juried showcase is when an Artist is selected by a committee of arts professionals to perform a sample of their performance in front of conference attendees which includes Presenters who are ready to book Artists for their upcoming season! This sample is 15 minutes long and should give the audience an idea of what your full-length show would entail. Your 2022 showcase will be performed at The Valentine Theatre on a stage that is equipped for performers of all genres including dance, full bands, solo artists, comedians, theatre, variety, and more. 

Submit To Showcase to OAPN 2022 through our partner site: I Want To Showcase. Deadline to apply is Sunday, May 1 at 11:55 PM EST. Those selected will be notified in early June.
