Ongoing, Part-time work for Actors
Location: Toronto, ON
Type: Theater
We are looking for contract actors to portray characters in an ongoing interactive theater production of “Trapped In A Room With A Zombie” in Toronto, Canada. This is a suspenseful comedy that is currently playing throughout the entire United States.
WHAT WE NEED:
Character: Gretchen/Gustavo Von Guttenberg (Chief Lab Technician)
This role is completely interactive from the minute our guests walk through the door until they depart as undead flesh eaters. Guttenberg is an actor in the show as well as the director of the 12 actors in the show who are the protagonists and decide their own fate. This role is extremely outgoing! We need bubbly folks with volcanic, improv personalities ready to erupt with excitement about the show.
Character: Dr. Oxy.
This character is a fully costumed starving zombie! This actor is a loud, athletic floor dweller who spends the duration of the show (1 hour) on his/her stomach and knees chasing the other actors (participants) around the room. This role can be very physically demanding and calls for being incredibly vocal each and every show. Dr. Oxy should go home exhausted, but never hungry for human flesh!
This role demands a keen sense of dramatic timing and live interaction between the show participants. Actors with a history of improv excel in both roles.
All contractors that we hire will need to play both roles.
