Los Angeles Public Library Audition

We participate with Los Angeles Public Library to establish and implemented an audition process for prequalifying artists, their programs and how well they meet the needs of LAPL. We helped to create an audition review form that is used to analyze each act and determines a performer’s inclusion on their Showcase and in their Directory. We also provide assessment/feedback information to artists both strengths and areas for improvement, in an effort to help their performance meet library guidelines.
