SPOKEN WORD COMPETITION - Gorilla Tango Theatre Non Equity Auditions

Totally Positive Productions is searching for positive youth Spoken Word Artists for its upcoming “Putting God First” Spoken Word Talent Competition 2012 to be held at Gorilla Tango Theatre (Bucktown) on Saturday, October 20, 2012.  The winner will receive $300 but before performing in the competition, hopefuls must first audition at one of four dates to ensure that the message and/or performance are free of derogatory messages and profanity.

“The winner will not only be judged on style and delivery, but their content must be clean and family friendly. We don’t allow our participants to use any derogatory or negative language in their music and spoken word piece in our competitions,” said Taj Jones, the organization founder and director. “We are about promoting our youth who uplift and respect themselves. This is to give them an outlet and to showcase those youth doing right.”
