Have you ever appeared on or auditioned for the Apollo Theater amateur night? If so, AJC reporter Nedra Rhone would like to hear from you.

To celebrate its 75th anniversary, the show is holding auditions in New York and Atlanta (details below). Rhone is hoping to see how auditions have gone for previous contestants, who faced the infamously vocal audience hoping for a shot at stardom.
