Basie Center Announced ARTS MADNESS Tournament for Area Talent

The Count Basie Center for the Arts, New Jersey’s leading nonprofit performing arts center, is turning downtime into game time! It’s ARTS MADNESS. Beginning today, March 23, 2020, the Basie’s three-week ‘tournament’ will solicit one-minute videos from musicians, local bands, dancers, actors, comedians, musical theatre performers and all others aged 8-25. Thirty-two of the best videos will be entered into the tournament, with the first selections in the “round of 32” debuting on the Basie’s social media channels. From there, it’s up to the general public: voting rounds will be posted, and fans and artists alike will cheer on their favorites, moving all the way down to a Final Four and championship round in April. Interested performing arts may submit a video (or link) to artsmadness@thebasie.org. Full info is available at www.thebasie.org/madness.
