Vaudeville Stages: Stage Left,  DuCaniveaux Vaudeville Palace, W.C. Fields Memorial Stage

Thank you for your interest in participating in the Oregon Country Fair's Vaudeville stages. The dates for the upcoming year's Fair are July 8th, 9th and 10th, 2022.

The Oregon Country Fair (OCF) is a non-profit, grass-roots effort organization that holds annual gatherings in the forest of Veneta, Oregon. The OCF thrives through community support and the dedication of thousands of volunteers whose commitment made it possible to purchase our land, ensuring future fairs at the traditional site. It is a true example of life's abundance; experiences that nourish the soul, liven the spirit, and is an exceptional example of community working on living sustainably and reducing our carbon footprint on the earth.

Vaudeville acts consist of variety shows combining such entertainment as theatrical performances, juggling, pantomime, burlesque comedy, dialogue, dancing, and song. Aerial acts are performed on WC Fields Stage ONLY due to the truss system being in place and professional riggers assigned to the stage. Stage times are scheduled at 60-minute increments, which includes set up and take down time.

Due to the organic element of the OCF, it has been a long-standing tradition to create pieces with live music as an integral part of the overall show. Live music is highly preferred on the vaudeville stages, and the use of pre-recorded music must be approved by the Vaudeville Coordinators ahead of time.

Volunteerism is a core value of OCF, and the concept is reflected in the payment we can offer and your desire to participate. We do not pay travel, housing, or other expenses for your appearance. Most entertainers attend because of our reputation, and to share the stages amidst other amazing performers from far and wide! The OCF draws responses from all over the U.S., and as a result, has many more applicants than positions available.
