The audition is open to all ages and experience levels like singers, dancers, poets, musicians and actors or actresses.“We have  a lot of singers and musicians in Prince Albert and they are fabulous but we also  want to have some people that maybe give something different like a ballet, a solo, or maybe a skit or if someone has written short play or instrumental,” Ethier said. “We also have a lot of immigrants in Prince Albert so we are looking to see blend or mixture of that variety. That’s why we call it a variety show.”Ethier said they haven’t decided on a final date for the Variety Show, but they’re aiming for one of the weekends in May.
