Burlingame looking for an Idol or four (Daily Journal)
The Burlingame Parks and Recreation Department's community theater group Acting Out & About? is searching for not only one, but four Burlingame Idols.
Talent comes in all shapes, sizes and ages, so the search is on for a Burlingame Idol in all these categories: 5-12 years old, 13-17 years old, 18-50 years old and 50 and over.
The preliminary auditions begin 7 p.m. Thursday, March 26 at Burlingame Parks and Recreation Department, 850 Burlingame Ave. For a $35 entry fee, you can find out if you have what it takes to be a Burlingame Idol. Every week through May 21, eliminations will continue until the top 12 (three from each category) have been chosen. The final performance will be 7 p.m. Friday, May 22 at Burlingame Parks and Recreation's auditorium. First place from each category will receive a gift certificate and a final grand performance at a local hot spot.
Three famous musicians have been selected as the final judges. Their identities will be revealed on the night of the final performance. All local Bay Area talent is welcomed to compete but you must come prepared with a memorized song and CD/karaoke accompaniment.
For more information call 697-6936.
