Calling all birthday party performers! Friday morning is a double-session workshop for birthday party performers past, present, and future. As part of the showcase, we want to (you guessed it) showcase a few performers.

  • Do you have something tried and true that you would like to share with others?

  • Do you have something new and are looking for feedback or advice?

  • Are you new to performing at parties and want to test some material?

The birthday party showcase is looking for you! In addition to a group discussion about everything birthday parties, we will showcase 10 - 15 minute segments from live performances. Please send video, DVD or weblink submissions to:
