[Capdist-auditions] Sign up for Bridge Street Theatre's PERFORMATHON! (Fee Required)

[Steven Patterson]

Do you (or anyone you know) have a talent you want to share with the world?
This Memorial Day weekend, Catskill’s Bridge Street Theatre will give you a
chance to strut your stuff, whatever it may be, when they present a
Performathon Fundraiser in their beautiful new Mainstage auditorium. Want
to haul out that old accordion or maybe see your child perform her magic
act on the stage of a professional theatre? Or perhaps you’ll hear your
neighbor play ukulele, sponsor your plumber to come and tap dance, or enjoy
your friend from work reciting his Shakespeare sonnet or performing that
song from *Les Mis*. Now’s your chance!  The organization’s first-ever
Performathon is the culminating event of the theatre’s push to raise
$35,000 for its Capital Campaign. All proceeds go toward the Campaign and
all donations are tax deductible.



As part of the event, Bridge Street Theatre will also be attempting to
break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title TM for *Most signatures on a piece
of theatre memorabilia. *They’ll begin collecting signatures on a big
golden cupola (which was removed from the theatre’s roof during its recent
renovation) in early May, and the attempt to reach a goal of 700 signatures
will culminate at the Memorial Day weekend event. On both days of the
event, $1.00 snacks will be available including hot dogs, cupcakes, and
more. There will also be raffles and a 50/50, all of it in a
family-friendly, county fair atmosphere. Bridge Street Theatre invites
EVERYBODY to perform or just to come and enjoy all the incredible talent in
our local community.



The fee to perform is $1.00 for 1 minute, with a minimum time slot of 5
minutes. You may perform for up to 30 minutes (for $30.00). All types of
performance are welcome and creativity is encouraged. Performance slots are
available for Saturday, May 27 from 9:00am through 5:30 pm and Sunday, May
28 from 9:00am through 9:55pm with a few breaks on both days for guest
performances by professional acts and for set-up and break down of the
stage. There will be a “Battle of the Bands” on Saturday night from 6:00pm
to 10:00pm, so tell your kids that this is the time to bring their rock
band over to do a set or your own band can come and perform—bands of all
ages welcome. To sign up as a performer, contact Alison Davy at
alison at bridgest.org or 518-943-3894.  Your slot will not be considered
confirmed unless you speak directly with Alison Davy—if you leave a
voicemail, it does do not count as a confirmed sign up.

their offices at 518-943-3894.
