Performers’ Showcase

The annual ACL Performers’ Showcase offers the opportunity to meet and evaluate a variety of children’s performers active in the Bay Area. The 35th Performers’ Showcase was held on 3rd February 2024.

The next Showcase will be held on Saturday, 1st February 2025, at the Fremont Main Library.

Performers are eligible to appear in the Showcase if they have not participated in the last 3 years. This gives a larger number of performers a chance to participate in the Showcase, and it gives our audience a different group of performers to enjoy every year. So if you last performed in 2021 or before, you are eligible to appear again in the Showcase in 2025.

Applications for the 2025 Showcase are now closed, but we are still accepting applications for the 2025 Showcase Wait List. Before you submit your application, please read the FAQ for the 2025 Showcase, which includes criteria for selection, logistics, and timetables.

To apply for a place on the 2025 Showcase Wait List, please complete and submit the online application found here. 

Please email us at pshow.acl@gmail.com  if you have any questions about the Showcase.

We look forward to seeing you at the next Showcase!
