This was forwarded to me from Steve Goupil of
Bremerton Community Theatre (thanx, Steve !!):
Hi Steve,
"My name is Lindsay (Tuggle) and I work on the NBC show
America’s Got Talent. We are trying to get the word out about our
nationwide casting call we are doing in the early part of next
year. We are coming to Seattle for the first time this season so I
have been contacting arts organizations, theaters, fine arts
schools, and other places in the Pacific Northwest that might be
able to help us reach the talent in that area of the country. I was
told you were the person to contact for your theater.
And blah-dee-blah … Here’s more about the show :
With a talent search open to any act of any age, AMERICA’S GOT
TALENT has brought the variety format back to the forefront of
American culture by showcasing the hottest performers from across
the country.
Each week, the show features a colorful array of hopeful stars,
including singers, dancers, comedians, contortionists,
impressionists, jugglers, magicians and ventriloquists, all vying
for their chance to strut and perform on stage in front of a panel
of celebrity judges in the hopes they’ll be chosen a winner by the
viewing audience.
For season four America’s Got Talent is currently planning a
massive nationwide audition tour. The auditions will be traveling
across America to over eight major cities including New York, Los
Angeles, Chicago, Washington D.C., and Seattle .
They will be taking place in January through April of next year, so
GET READY!
For the last three seasons this series has truly changed the
lives of its’ contestants in ways they never dreamed of. Last year,
insurance salesman/opera singer Neal Boyd from Missouri won the
$1,000,000 grand prize and achieved his lifelong dream to headline
a show in Las Vegas.
What makes this show unique is that any talent goes. We want to
see anything and everything…No matter how zany, bizarre or unusual
others may think your talent is, on our show, it could make you a
star!
