As a way to broadcast the creative performances that many at Oakland University have to offer, the Student Program Board is preparing for their annual production of OU’s Got Talent.

“OU’s Got Talent is one of the Student Program Board’s annual mainstage events,” Director of Annual Events for the Student Program Board Cassie Hock said. “The idea is to mirror America’s Got Talent. There are many students who audition, and some will move on to participate in the full talent show at Meadow Brook Theater.”

How to get involved

For those looking to become involved with the show, there are some important details to keep in mind.

“We welcome all talent to participate in our show,” Abby Godwin, Student Program Board’s mainstage events director, said. “Auditions will be held in the Oakland Center on Oct. 5-7 from 6-8 p.m. If someone is unable to make those times, they may submit an online audition to oakland.edu/spb.”

 

Open-mic Hump Day

The Student Program Board will be holding an open-mic Hump Day event on Wednesday, Oct. 14 from 12-2 p.m. in the Oakland Center. Those who are looking to participate in the open-mic lineup should arrive at 11:30 a.m. to sign up.

You won’t want to miss out on this opportunity to see the talent OU students have to offer. “OU’s Got Talent” will be taking place, free of charge, at Meadowbrook Theater on Thursday, Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. Doors will open at 6 p.m. Cash prizes of $300, $200 and $150 will be awarded to the first and second place winners, along with the night’s fan favorite.
