Performers must be aged 21 or older as alcohol will be centric to both the venue and to the show’s narrative. The production is non-union (venue jurisdiction). Seeking performers with a sense of dark humor; larger-than-life, clever, playful personalities welcome. You will interact with guests in a naturalistic, interpersonal way in a life-like setting… albeit set several centuries ago. This is a nightlife-play based on an internationally popular IP (in film, TV, lit). Your love of pop culture is encouraged. A background in any experiential, immersive, in-the-round, or in-the-crowd theater is a plus, though not necessary. A background in drama and/or comedy, stage or screen, is a must.

The producers (Fever, as well as writer and director Ross Tipograph) are accepting audition tapes now. Rehearsals will be held August 30 — September 14, 2021; you’ll be notified of your casting approx 1 week before, so please do plan ahead. The play will be staged at a central location from September 15 — November 14, 2021. Split between two casts there will be a total of 16 performances a week. Compensation by Fever will be $15/ hour during rehearsals and $60 per performance. The show will be strictly following COVID health guidelines for the space, staff, and audience; all roles will require performers to verbally interact with, yet not touch, the audience. All work will be in Chicago, IL and you must be fully available to work as local hires.

Casting BIPOC Actors in Chicago for a Live Theater Event for a New Major Wide-Release Film. Note: The official live theatre adaptation and activation event of a major new wide-release motion picture coming soon is casting actors. This theater event featuring in-person performers (you) will be produced live only in Chicago, and it will be staged in the city for a limited 2 days: the dates of Saturday Aug 21 and Sunday 22, 2021. We are seeking actors who are male-presenting in appearance, who are Black, and who are no shorter than 5’11” in height. Very tall is a plus. Auditioning performers are encouraged to have a striking, unusual, or unique look, especially in face, though traditional appearances are welcome. Though a special pop-up structure will be constructed and serve as venue, we are seeking Union actors. The event is compensated. Show: The experience’s script is an activation of the film’s IP. You will interact with the in-person audience in a disorienting environment. Some performance background in drama, horror, and/or specialized athletic performing (contortion, etc) is a must, be it stage or screen. Any experiential, immersive, or in-the-crowd theater background is a plus though not necessary. Though the venue is not a haunted-house, your background in that genre is a plus as well. Details: The experience’s prod co and its theater/casting director, Ross Jacobs Co., are accepting audition tapes now. Each performance day will run for eight hours, with a call time of two hours ahead for costume and minimal makeup (dramatic). The experience will be following COVID health guidelines for the space, staff, and audience; the role does not require actors to touch audience.

The Role: For this event, director and agency as well as the major motion picture studio are seeking two performers to split the performance of one role. Accepting submissions from ages 22–55. The performance includes some walking (all indoors). We do ask for you to be fully available to work as a local hire. Rehearsal will be held during the week of August 16. You may be notified of your casting as late as Mon. Aug. 16; when you submit your audition we kindly ask for you to hold the two days of the event’s dates Sat. Aug. 21, Sun. Aug. 22 until you are notified of casting.
