Campus Idol*

All Campus Party

Tuesday, April 20 th at 7 pm at the Overture Center

Ten contestants will compete, but only one will walk away with twice as many Facebook friends.

This will be a little different than the American Idol from TV. The MadHatters will be there to keep it classy and unlike the television show, Ryan Seacrest isn’t invited. Our contestants may not be famous singers quite yet — but it’s not like you’re Simon Cowell, so it works out. After the show, you control the destiny of the 10 contestants when you text in your vote; enjoy the two-minute power trip.

If you feel that you belong on the stage and not in the audience, you’re invited to audition to perform and bring down the house with your talent!

All auditions will be held in the Rotunda Studio at the Overture Center on:

 * Tuesday April 6, 6-9 p.m.

* Thursday April 8, 3-6 p.m.

* Saturday April 10, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
