Hello Rising Stars!

Welcome to the Submission Form for the Rising Stars burlesque show! This form is for ALL burlesque, variety, and hosting performers that are interested in getting more experience and performance opportunities. We at Rising Stars recognize that as a new or developing performer in Chicago, it can be difficult to have performance opportunities. Therefore, we are looking to provide that space for performers that desire the experience and to develop their art! Whether it is your FIRST performance ever, or you've been steadily developing your acts, this is the space for you! If you aren't accepted into the talent pool right away, we will provide feedback & guidance on act development and/or keep you in mind for the talent pool for future shows. The goal is to get as many folks on stage that want to be!

Host: $50
Host & 2 Acts: $100
1 Burlesque Act: $40

Rising Stars will also be supplementing payment  for these shows by offering their talent video footage of their acts from the show, free access to rehearsal space each week, additional rehearsal space by request & availability, as well as feedback for act development by the show producers per performer request! Rising Stars performers will also be taken into consideration for future Starlet productions!
