  • Because use our characters are spirits, they can be almost anything. We very much seek performers of every age, every gender, every body type, every ethnicity, and every variation. Because of our historic venue, our only obstacle here is that performers must have the ability to easily climb up and down stairs.
  • We are aiming to expand our calendar to 13 shows per week. These shows are mostly afternoon (4:30pm) and evening (8pm) but will also include one late night show (10:30pm) and one early Saturday show (1pm).
  • Each performer is paid $90 per show, which will increase in March and April. Each show requires the performer to be on site for roughly 3.5 hours. Cast members can perform multiple shows consecutively.
  • The show is in south Bushwick near the Halsey J and Gates J stations. If a performer has short commute to the venue from their home or day job, this is a plus.
