MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Strawberry Festival Talent Show will return to the Marysville-Pilchuck High School auditorium on Thursday, June 14, starting at 6:30 p.m., but in order for the doors to open at 5:30 p.m. to let the audience in, the Talent Show will need some talent to showcase.

That’s why Strawberry Festival organizers will be holding auditions for the 2012 Talent Show on Monday, May 14, and Tuesday, May 15, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. both days, in the M-PHS auditorium.

Marcy Giesler, who’s once again directing the Talent Show, explained that organizers are looking for solo and group entrants of all ages, in performance categories such as vocal, dance, instrumental and comedy.

Awards will be given out at the June 14 Talent Show to the first, second and third place performers in each category.

The deadline to enter the May 14-15 Talent Show auditions is Friday, May 11.

Application forms are available online at maryfest.org.

The M-PHS auditorium is located at 5611 108th St. NE.

Admission for the June 14 Talent Show is $4 for pre-sale and $5 at the door, but free for children under 7 years of age.
