Cowabunga Variety Show Auditions

Friends of Bigfork Schools is holding auditions for the 11th annual Cowabunga Variety Show on Jan. 22 and 23 at the Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts from 3:30-5:30 p.m.

This year’s theme is “Lepre’Cow’s Pot o’ Gold,” inspired by the St. Patrick’s Day weekend the show is scheduled for. Performers are encouraged to incorporate St. Patrick’s Day themes into their talent act, but it is not a requirement.

Acts of all varieties are welcome, as long as it’s creative, but should aim to entertain all ages and be about 1-3 minutes long.

Adults, students, children, singles or groups are all welcome to audition.

A large audience is anticipated for the show, and only 10-15 acts will make the cut along with the specially invited guest performers.

Show proceeds support school and youth programs in Bigfork.

Audition sign-up forms are available at the Bigfork Elementary School office or can be emailed.

For more information call Director Diana Rahdert at 250-5594 or email diana@montanasky.us.
