The Grand Opera House is still searching for amateur comedians for their comedy competition.

The final competition won't take place until March 2nd, 2012, but the deadline to apply is November 1st.  Finalists will be notified by December 1st.  The grand prize winner of the finals in March will have a chance to open for a national touring comedian at the Grand during the 2012-2013 season (such as, possibly: Lewis Black, Wanda Sykes, Ron White, etc.). 

Note if you're thinking of auditioning but think the competition might be too stiff:  I've now seen advertisements from the Grand on Craigslist, seeking auditioners.  Obviously not nearly enough people have applied.  So give it a shot - you never know!  They won't even give you a chance to appear onstage if they think you're not up to snuff, so there's really little chance of seriously embarrassing yourself.
