January 20, 2025 Update: Due to expected winter weather the college will be closing at 12:35 PM. As a result, the MTC Showoff 2025 Auditions originally scheduled for tomorrow, January 21, 2025 has been rescheduled to Wednesday, January 29, from 1 PM - 7 PM at Harbison Theatre. The safety of students, faculty, staff, and alumni are our top priority and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.  Pre-registrants have been notified via email. 

Out of all auditionees, ten finalists will be selected. Finalists will receive mentoring from local producers to polish their acts and collaborate on lighting, design, and production elements to elevate their performances prior to the final showcase on Saturday, March 15, 2025. There will be a panel of judges in an "America’s Got Talent" - style competition.  Contestants will have the chance to win $1,000 (Biggest Showoff) or $500 (Audience Favorite) and perform on the HT@MTC stage before a packed crowd. There are two opportunities to win our Audience Favorite award and prize, one exclusively for students/alumni and the other for faculty/staff, both valued at $500.
