What are you working on?
Got a show for YippieFest? We're looking for all kinds of acts! Shorter is better, even five minute slots are available. Ideal shows are 10-30 minutes long with minimal setup and props.
FAQ
What is the fest like?
Controlled chaos, there's back-to-back shows with minimal changeover and people coming and going.
What can I do?
Just about any kind of show that brings an audience. Shorter is better, pieces 5-40 minutes are preferred.
How much does it cost to apply? Do I get paid?
There is no pay or application fee, no money is exchanged. For performers, you get a free weekend pass to see other shows.
How does everything run on time?
It doesn't always, we may be behind schedule and your show might start after your advertised time. If we are ahead of schedule, you won't have to start early. It can get a little chaotic during changeovers and be aware the audience may be coming and going during your show.
Can I bring props before my show?
Yes, just let us know. We have limited storage for your props and ideally you would bring them on stage when you are setting up before your show and remove them from the theater after your show. Space is limited.
Do you have chairs/a couch/tables/etc?
We have chairs and a card table. If you need anything else, just ask.
What about tech?
You have to bring your own tech person to do sound and lights if you need any sound or music played or lights turned off or on. There will be a 1/8" mini-headphone jack to plug into laptops/ipods/phones. The lights will be basic and are set for the entire fest and can't be adjusted. We will have two wired mics with stands on stage. The tech booth is very small (see below).
What can't I do during my show?
If you have any questions, please ask. A full list of what is not allowed will be sent to each group's contact. These include but is not limited to pyrotechnics, explosives, flames of any kind even candles and lighters, glitter, smoking/vaping, and excessive noise. Strobe lighting, gunshots, haze, and lasers should be mentioned beforehand. Again, if you have any doubts, please ask.
Can I bring alcohol?
Yes, there is no bar in the theater.
