Performers’ Showcase

The annual ACL Performers’ Showcase offers the opportunity to meet and evaluate a variety of children’s performers active in the Bay Area.  The next Showcase will be held on Saturday, February 7, 2026 at the Fremont Main Library. 

Performer Applications for the 2026 Showcase are still being accepted. Before you submit your application, please read the FAQ for the 2026 Showcase, which includes criteria for selection, logistics, and timetables.

Please complete and submit the online application. 

We are currently in the process of reviewing and contacting applicants.  Additional performers are encouraged to apply and will be contacted on a rolling basis until all spots and waitlist positions are filled.

Please email us at [email protected] if you have any questions about the Showcase.

We look forward to seeing you at the next Showcase!
