Other--Auditions

The LAFAYETTE SCIENCE MUSEUM is announcing auditions for actors and extras to participate in the second annual MUSEUM OF FEAR attraction.

The actors will be paid to cover key positions in the attraction.  They will also be designated as life-safety officers in their assigned areas of the attraction.  Because of this dual nature to the position the key things we are looking for in the actors is improvisational ability and the freedom to schedule as much of the run as possible.  Actors will be expected to attend some rehearsals.

The extras will be unpaid performers who will fill out the other roles in attraction making for a more complete experience for visitors.  Extras may work the entire run if they wish or may schedule a limited number of days and/or shifts.  Extras who are available and willing may be promoted to actors as the need arises.

Auditions will take place from 6pm to 8pm on Thursday September 2 and Friday September 3 at the LAFAYETTE SCIENCE MUSEUM (corner of Congress Street and Jefferson Street, downtown).

Museum of Fear is performed in two shifts on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights from September 30 through October 30 from 6pm to 12 midnight.  For the first shift, participants report at 5:00 pm and perform from 6pm to 9pm.  For the second shift, participants report at 8pm, and perform from 9pm to 12 midnight.

There will also be two special performance nights.  There will be a one-shift night on Wed September 20 from 7-11 (report at 6pm).   There will also be a regular two-shift night on Sunday October 31 (Halloween)
