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.

• Comfortable with audience interaction and improvisation

• Good comic timing and stage presence

• 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.

Title

Marie Hale - Hotel Manager The Haunted Hotel

Content

Marie Hale is the professional face of the hotel. Composed, capable and determined, she is absolutely committed to making the hotel a success whatever it takes.

To guests, Marie is welcoming, attentive and reassuring. She knows how to handle people and prides herself on maintaining the hotel's reputation, even when things begin to go spectacularly wrong.

Behind the professional exterior, however, Marie is controlling, secretive and under increasing pressure. She is used to being the person who has all the answers, but as the night unfolds, maintaining control becomes increasingly difficult.
