(Branson MO ~ Monday, June 20, 2011) Kirby VanBurch, internationally renowned entertainer and illusionist, announced today that he is searching for a featured act to perform during his show in October of 2011. Kirby says, “In order to find just the right act to feature I’ve teamed up with MyStudio to acquire audition videos. MyStudio was also used by Simon Cowell’s X-Factor to acquire audition videos and I thought it was a great way to find my next big featured act.”

Kirby and his staff will select the winner from the top ten audition videos as voted on by the fans.
The act chosen to perform will receive two weeks of understudy under Kirby VanBurch and then a week of actual on stage performance either as a solo act or within an existing act. During this time period the Kirby VanBurch Theatre will pay for housing, meals, transportation in Branson, and weekly compensation. “I’m very excited about this partnership with MyStudio,” says Kirby. “I think this is the perfect way to find the next Big Thing for my Branson show!”

Branson Performers help out with Joplin clean up effort
Posted by Kale Garner of KOAM TV and Fox 14
The support is coming from everywhere now dozens of Branson performers will participate in the Joplin relief effort during a Branson cares telethon.
We will air that telethon on Sunday, June 26th but today Angela Garcia met up with a number of those performers who are already getting started.
The sound of chainsaws and stacking debris aren't typical sounds coming from these Branson entertainers.
A handful of performers put their normal jobs on hold to help clean up Joplin neighborhoods.
"we're glad to be here glad to help out however we can- good way to spend the weekend. The silver lining in all of this is that so many people can come together and do some good together. It just makes you feel good inside."
The Hughes brothers signed up to volunteer through their church
They will also participate in the Branson Cares Telethon.
This was the first time many of the performers had been in Joplin since the tornado hit.
"I just couldn't believe the devastation. All the trees torn apart. The buildings leveled, uh pieces of metal and buildings wrapped around trees. It's hard to believe. It's completely different to see things first hand than to see it on the news or see pictures of it. "
Tim Dutton and his wife volunteered through the boomtown days event.
They signed up for the race which was then changed to a clean up day after the tornado.
"Many of the Branson performers say they offer relief to people through their entertainment. After seeing the devastation in Joplin they knew they had to bring their effort here."
"The one thing that can never be taken from us is our hope. And that's something that we can all give as Branson entertains. We entertain- but being able to come up here and let the people know that even as far away as Branson- that we're thinking about them we care enough that we wanna come up here, clean up and help them rebuild."
