Premier Showcase -
September 9 - Chicago
Premier Showcase is a one-day event, conveniently timed in
mid-September, early in the academic calendar.
Premier Showcase is an exhibition for
entertainers, educators, and programs for the youth market. The event
is an opportunity for attendees to be entertained, educated, and
introduced to the top performers in your region, and a chance for
performers to preview the opportunities for their next assembly or
school function.
Our goal is to provide a venue for youth
performers and audience members to meet and discuss their needs in an
open setting. Also, the theater room allows performers to showcase
portions of their unique acts, live and in-person. We believe that
children's exposure to the arts supports their growth in all areas. We
are committed to providing the best available talent to encourage this
important development.
