MAPSO FOLLIES ARE BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!

The 4th Annual MAPSO FAMILY FOLLIES VARIETY SHOW returns with OLD-TIMEY ACTS and QUIRKY FUN!

The Woodland is getting a fabulous makeover, so this year’s old-timey MAPSO FAMILY FOLLIES VARIETY SHOW will be held at the Columbia High School main theater, where more seats = more fun! Summer is the perfect time to come up with a kooky or charming act for auditions on Wednesday, September 23rd. So, grab a friend, neighbor, or family member and come up with a 3-minute comedy bit, dance routine, or upbeat acoustic song; baton twirling, hula hooping, bird calls, or opera; step dance, clogging, tap, or ballet; recite poetry; perform drag; do magic or ventriloquism; act out a short scene from your favorite comedy movie or tv show… knock yourself out, anything goes!

There are only 3 AUDITION RULES: No more than 3 minutes per act, no drum kits, and no solos. Open to Maplewood/South Orange and surrounding communities, ages 9 to 99. (The Follies Team encourages new acts to audition each year, so, if you were in last year’s show, mix it up with a different routine, talent, or performers.) 

SAVE THESE DATES!

AUDITIONS: Wednesday, September 23rd, from 6 - 8pm at Columbia High School (17 Parker Ave., Maplewood), as well as an online submission option through 9/30. Check back at maplewoodartsandculture.org/follies. Follow our Insta: @mapsofollies plus answers to FAQs found below.
