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 34rd Performers’ Showcase will be held Sunday, February 5, 2023 at the Newark Public Library.

After two years of virtual events, the 2023 Showcase will be taking place in-person.  Weather permitting, the event will be held in an outdoor amphitheater.  ACL will observe Alameda County health recommendations.  Attendees are encouraged to wear face masks. 

Performers who may be interested in participating: all spots are filled. 

Attending the Showcase?  This full-day event will preview a diverse range of talented performers, all of whom are excited to work with you. This is a unique opportunity to preview acts, discuss specifics, and even book upcoming events.

Registration is $15 in advance or $20 at the door (check or cash only at the door, please!).

You can register online through Brown Paper Tickets ($17.39 total with online service fee) through 2nd February 2023 at  https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/5672618.
