International Idol 2010 Starts June 6th; Sign Up Today!


"Every great dream begins with a dreamer.
Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience,
and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."


The Soo Theatre Project once again presents the much anticipated International Idol competition which focuses this year on the theme "The Possible Dream." For those who have what it takes to challenge themselves and others in determining who is the best at performing vocally on stage, this is for you.

Contestants will vie for over $2,000 in cash and prize money in two different divisions, 13-and-under and 14-and-over. Sponsorship has expanded to include All Good Soundz Music, Lake Street Studio, Old Mission Bank, and Bob Arfstrom. Contestants will be judged every Sunday in June on vocal quality, stage presence and song selection.

This year's competition will start at 4:00pm on June 6th at the Soo Theatre. The 13 and Under Division will compete first, followed by the 14 and Over Division at 6:00pm. The top three finalists of each division will be awarded prizes with the Grand Champion prize for the 14 and Over Division paying out $600 for 1st place, $400 for 2nd, and $200 for third. The Grand Champion of the 14 and Over Division will also receive $500 worth of studio time at Lake Street Studio, an opportunity to perform at a Dream Makers Theater presentation, a Music-In-The-Park guest appearance and an opportunity to perform in a stage production sponsored by the Soo Theatre Project.
