All disciplines run at the discretion of the Festival and are dependent on sufficient entries.

1. Musical Theatre entries are own choice selections from any musical, Broadway musical, or motion picture musical including animated musicals unless otherwise stated as in selections from a Cabaret/Revue genre. No opera or operetta is accepted in this section.

2. The source of the selection must be listed on the entry form (example – “You Can’t Get a Man with a Gun” from Annie Get Your Gun by Irving Berlin) or entry will not be accepted.

3. Costumes are permitted but not necessary.  All handheld props allowed no limit. A chair will be provided and may be used. Props must be set up and struck by the PERFORMER.

5. Classes will be subdivided by age.  

6. Selections must have appropriate/acceptable language and content that is suitable for all age levels of participants and audiences.
