Posted: Sep 3, 2008 Actors Needed for Successful Museum Program

The Manitoba Museum will be holding an open call for actors on Saturday, September 13th from 11am until 5pm.

Halloween Funkadelic is an extremely popular, sold-out annual event that will be held on Friday, October 24th. Talented actors with a gift for improvisation and working with a live audience are needed for the event’s ghost tour, which will be styled as a trip back to the time of Jack the Ripper.

Actors will be expected to attend rehearsals on the evenings of October 7th, 20th, and 23rd, unless other arrangements are made. October 23rd is a full dress rehearsal, and attendance of all actors is required. 

All those interested should report to Museum reception on Saturday, September 13th with a headshot, if possible, and a CV detailing their previous acting experience. Auditions will be videotaped.

These roles include an honorarium, free food and non-alcoholic drinks during breaks at the actual event, and entrance to Halloween Funkadelic. We also provide passes to the Museum galleries, planetarium, and Science Gallery.

For more info, please contact:
