We are casting talented, confident and engaging performers for a series of immersive murder mystery weekend productions.

These productions combine scripted drama, character interaction, comedy and audience participation, with performers bringing larger-than-life characters and gripping mysteries to life across a full weekend experience.

We are looking for actors who are comfortable performing to an audience, improvising, interacting in character and working as part of an ensemble. Strong characterisation, comic timing and the ability to think on your feet are particularly valued.

The productions take place in hotel and event settings, with performances taking place throughout the weekend. Actors should be confident maintaining character both during formal performances and in more informal, interactive moments with guests.

Ideal performers:

• Strong acting and characterisation skills

• Confident, outgoing and personable

• Comfortable with audience interaction and improvisation

• Good comic timing and stage presence

• Reliable, professional and able to work collaboratively

• Experience in immersive theatre, murder mystery, dinner theatre or interactive performance is welcomed but not essential

This is an exciting opportunity for performers who enjoy character-driven comedy, live theatre and creating memorable experiences for an audience.

Fee is set at £250 for the weekend. Total hours 16.

Travel, shared accomodation (2 persons to a room) & half board meals are included.

Paid rehearsal in Liverpool at NMW for 2 hours.

Title

ARTHUR “ARTIE” WEBB – Journalist

Content

Artie Webb calls himself a journalist. Others might use the term a little more loosely.

An online and YouTube-based journalist, Artie is obsessed with clicks, views and getting the story that will make people stop scrolling. He's not particularly well educated and has a tendency to embellish, exaggerate and occasionally invent stories when the truth isn't quite interesting enough.

But beneath the questionable journalism is something unexpected: Artie may actually have stumbled across something important.

After discovering evidence that suggests there may have been more to the band breakup than originally thought. Artie takes his findings directly to the band's manager. For once, the story he's telling might actually be true.

Seeking: A naturally funny, high-energy performer with excellent improvisation skills. Artie should be slightly chaotic, likeable and utterly convinced of his own journalistic brilliance. Strong comic timing and audience interaction are essential.

Set fee of £250 for the weekend. Total 7 scripted scenes (Max 15 minutes) and each performer will do 4 improvised questionings (30 mins) Travel Friday - Rehearsal & scene 1 evening.
