What is the West Side Nut Club Amateur Hour?

Are you the next big thing just waiting to be discovered? Whether you belt out Broadway hits in the shower, wow your friends with card tricks, or turn the living room into a dance floor – this is your moment, Evansville!

Amateur Hour Tryout Dates and Location

The WSNC 2025 Amateur Hour Tryouts are coming up fast, and the West Side Nut Club wants YOU to bring your talent to the stage. Auditions will take place at the Mater Dei High School Auditorium (1300 Harmony Way) on:

  • Wednesday, August 20 from 5–10 PM
  • Thursday, August 21 from 5–10 PM

Got stage fright? Shake it off! This beloved tradition is one of the most fun (and family-friendly) parts of the Fall Festival. Picture this: you, spotlighted under the stars on Franklin Street, with the roar of the crowd and the scent of Pronto Pups in the air. Magic, right?

There are four divisions, ranging from Pre-K to College, and winners will walk away with cash prizes and shiny trophies. But hey – it’s not just about winning. It’s about having fun, being fearless, and sharing your passion with the community.
