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

· Space in the Tippitywitchet booth to sell

and the convention hall, performance room, greenroom, and bathrooms are all at

accessibility as required.

with casting decisions communicated by June 30.
