I (Tom Bonham) auditioned for America’s Got Talent producer’s audition in October. I performed a medley of I Put My Hand In There, Do You Hear the People Sing, Tomorrow, The Phantom of the Opera, and Defying Gravity with my bath glove, bath pouf, and bath sponge puppets. Li’l Bearr was on my shoulder the whole time, and I also created a copy of Piers, Sharon, and Howie and their “X’s” with dusters.
It was the all day ordeal they promised. I arrived at 8:15 am and left at 5:15 pm. Very promising things happened during the audition. However I signed their routine confidentiality agreement that I cannot reveal anything about the auditions or auditioning process, or I would be disqualified from competing. It was amazing how well organized an auditioning process it was for such a multitude of auditions in such a short time.
They will only inform “winners” and it will be probably in February. Channel 5 announced that the Saint Louis celebrity judges auditions will be held in March.

making workshop. They will be making a cat in honor of the Ready Reader’s theatrical production of Puss n’ Boots. The event goes until 4 p.m. and there will also be a silent auction to help raise money for their group. All Guild members are invited to attend.
