There are two performance spaces, one on the Main Stage and one in the Rotunda (pictured above), and all applications will be reviewed in an effort to best determine the interests and needs of each organization. BMD reserves the right to determine the best location for your performance. Applications will be accepted until February 19, 2014. All applicants will be notified of final selections in late February or early March.  The application is attached as an editable Word document, and BMD asks that all applications be remitted electronically to Joanna Janascius, Engagements and Operations Manager, at joanna@bmdc.org.
