Casting Call: A Christmas Carol
Milestones Museum, Basingstoke

We are casting performers for an immersive experience of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol at the Milestones Museum in Basingstoke.

We are looking for confident, engaging performers with experience in immersive and/or conventional theatre or attraction based work. Performers should be comfortable with improvisation, working in an interactive environment, engaging directly with family audiences and bringing characters to life within a museum setting. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a festive, atmospheric production staged within the unique setting of Milestones Museum. We’re looking for performers with:
Strong improvisation and audience-engagement skills
Experience in immersive theatre, attractions, live events and/or theatre
Confidence performing in a busy public environment
Reliability, professionalism and good teamwork
A warm, playful and adaptable approach to performance

We are aiming to either have two casts or work with a Swing model to ensure all performances are covered and provide cover for characters.
