Open auditions for STAR WARS Weekends: Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Jedi Master & Ewok Performers
Disney is bringing back the Star Wars Weekends this summer and now casting for performers to fill the roles of Chewy, Darth Vader and the Ewoks. The Star Wars Weekend auditions will be held next month at Disney Orlando. On the west coast, Disney is also doing auditions for the Jedi Academy and is seeking an actor for the role of Darth Vader and a Jedi Master.
One of the most beloved movies of all time will be celebrated at the happiest place on Earth this summer. The annual event that celebrates the classic sci-fi film series will return to Disney parks which means performers are needed to fill the iconic roles. The annual event includes special shows, presentations and of course, Disney Star Wars memorabilia. The annual event begins in mid May 2015 and will run through the middle of June. Rehearsals for the performers will begin in April.
If you love Star Wars and would love to dress up as one of your favorite characters and make some money at it, here is your shot.
The Star Wars Weekends event is held May 14 – June 15, 2015. Rehearsals occur during the month of April. Those considered for the event must be available for all rehearsals and performances. Performers are only hired on for seasonal employment. Seeking performers local to the Central Florida area.

Please check out my Darth Vader Performance at the YouTube link above, I am at the 4 minute point. I am 6″ 6″ in my own costume, 6″ 1″ out of costume. I am a 501st Legion Member #SL2766, so I am very experienced at performing in costume, and have basic fencing skills. Please check out the video above, and contact me with any interest.
