Live Nativity Trail Seeks Actors

Post by Ryan Hill »

Hey Imps! My friend Monica Ballard is directing a nativity play and needs actors. This is a paid gig! I did it a couple of years ago and it's a blast. I copied the Craig's List posting below, and here's a link.

Wizard Academy's "Journey of the Wise Men', a live interactive Nativity Trail is looking for some new PAID actors!

Now in its 5th year, this production is seeking 1 Female and 3 Male Actors who can hold their own in a crowd and tell a great story despite a dimly-lit outdoor venue.

LOCATION: Wizard Academy & Chapel Dulcinea, FM 1826 near Driftwood. (Yes, it's way on out there, but that's what makes it such a cool place!)

HANNAH -- (Adult female, age 30 to 60) - The sore-footed, cranky neighbor of Mary & Joseph.
HEROD'S SCRIBE -- (Adult male, age 25 to 65) - A wonder-struck, yet cautious witness to the Wise Men's arrival in Jerusalem
2 ARGUMENTATIVE MALE SHEPHERDS -- (Adult males. One may be as young as 20 if the other is older) - Our comic relief in Shepherd's Field who help to tell the story of the angel's good news.

PERFORMANCE DATES ARE FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY EVENINGS, DECEMBER 14, 15 & 16, as well as 21, 22 & 23.
Friday Call Times are 6PM for tours starting at 7PM thru 9PM.
Saturdays & Sundays' Call Times are 5PM for tours staring at 6PM thru 9PM.
You MUST be available for ALL PERFORMANCES.

Tours run every fifteen minutes (weather permitting), so as many as 8 shows per night are possible depending upon the crowds. Minimal rehearsal: 2 for Hannah & Scribe, possibly 3 for the Shepherds because their scene involves more technical cues with sound and lighting.
HOW TO AUDITION

Please respond to monica.ballard@wizardofads.com and we'll set up an appointment for Saturday, November 10th between 11 and 2.

PAY: $30 per night and a great feast before the closing performance.

Location: FM 1826 SW Austin
