Open Call | Teens Perform!
Seeking teen performers for a showcase organized by CAMH’s Teen Council
Submission deadline: Monday, February 28, 2022 at 11:59PM
Are you a teen who loves performing? Are you writing your own poems, music, or jokes? Are you choreographing your own dances or directing your own plays? Do you love to put on a show like a drag performance? Then we have an opportunity just for you! CAMH’s Teen Council is looking for original performances from the Houston teen community in a one-night only public program in our Brown Foundation Gallery.
This show will be in-person and masks will be required for all guests. Teens Perform! will be held inside the galleries of Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH), and we ask that you consider the space when planning your performance. Please review CAMH’s COVID-19 safety protocols here.
