America’s got talent for sure, but people who perform variety acts may find they don’t have many opportunities to show off their specialties. Now they do, in a production sponsored by Seneca Community Players as part of the After The Falls: Van Cleef Lake Centennial celebration. Clinton’s Follies, a 1915-style vaudeville show to be staged Aug. 15 and 16 in Seneca Falls, will showcase the kinds of traditional variety acts that were popular in our nation a century ago. That means jugglers, barbershop quartets, ventriloquists, sleight-of-hand magicians, banjo and accordion players, dancers, trained poodles, singers, etc… now have a venue in which to show their talents. The show will consist of 10-minute acts and a grand finale with everyone on stage. Performers are invited to audition for the Follies beginning at 6:30 pm Monday and Tuesday, July 13 and 14 at 115 Fall Street, (lower level) in Seneca Falls. Costumes are encouraged, and a pianist will be available. No fire or fireworks will be permitted. All acts must be family-friendly. The show will be directed by SCP veteran Carol Ritter Wright. For more information, contact Ritter Wright at (315) 568-5727 or (585) 705-8389.
