Application for the Shock-And-Awe Extravaganza at Shock-O-Con
Incomplete applications will not be accepted, so please be sure to answer all required questions! 

Attention all burlesque, sideshow and variety-performing Boils and Ghouls! Tippitywitchet Productions is now accepting performer applications for the burlesque and sideshow half of the Show-And-Awe Drag and Burlesque Sideshow Extravaganza at Shock-O-Con, Havre de Grace’s first horror convention, August 25-7, 2023! We know people are making travel plans, so we’re getting started early.

We are looking for burlesque, sideshow, and variety performances of all styles. Acts do not need to represent specific horror properties, but Tippitywitchet asks that performers consider horror aesthetics in designing their presentations. An aerial point can be available. Fire is a possibility (waiting on fire marshal confirmation). Gore and fake blood are welcome, with appropriate preparations on the part of the performer.

Tippitywitchet will never accept glitter pours. 

The show will take place on Saturday, August 26, 2023 at the STAR Centre (700 Congress Ave, Havre De Grace, MD 21078). The show is scheduled for 8pm, with a call time no later than 6pm; performers are welcome to stay for the entire convention (10am – 5pm). 

Compensation and Amenities:

·       $100 guarantee per act

·       Pass to the convention

·       Private and secure changing area

·       Secure storage for props

·       Space in the Tippitywitchet booth to sell performer merchandise (must help work booth if selling)

Accessibility:

·       There is no explicit covid policy at this time

·       The STAR Centre is a former school gymnasium, and the convention hall, performance room, greenroom, and bathrooms are all at ground-level. Tippitywitchet will work with the convention to provide stage accessibility as required.

 

Applications are open from May 8 until June 12, with casting decisions communicated by June 30.

No travel stipend is available at this time.
