2011 Fright Planet SACRAMENTO
Casting Application
We are currently accepting applications for the 2011 Fright Planet "World of Fear" Haunted Houses located at Cal Expo in Sacramento, CA.
We are looking for energetic people who want to have a lot of fun by joining our volunteer team! Positions available are build crew, cast members, tech crew, and retail sales/game operator.
BUILD CREW
Are people who will help in setting up the attraction, and after the season is over, help tear it down. It is a very fun environment to work in, plus you learn a lot about tool usage and carpentry along the way. People interested in this position must be able to work unloading, lifting up to around 75 lbs., moving things, screwing walls together, painting, decorating, etc. Electrical or carpentry skills a plus.
CAST MEMBERS
Haunted Houses provide an easy way into the acting business and let you play with your skills while still being able to hide from the mistakes that we will all have. Now if you've been acting for a while, working at a Haunted House is a non-stressful environment which you can have a ton of fun with!
Cast Members include actors and actresses to work inside (and perhaps outside) the haunted house. No acting experience is necessary, but we do want you to have fun and do your best. A love for Halloween is a plus! Responsibilities will be to memorize a main script for your character and an understudy script for a different character. Scripts are around a minute in length and are very easy to memorize. These will be part of your dialogue in the haunted house, in your specific scene.
TECH CREW
These are the fun jobs of working in the haunted house, while not needing to interact with people. Most of these jobs are behind the scenes controlling props, electronics, effects, lights, or sound. It's the people who make things run smoothly. It's a great place to start working if you're not too comfortable with acting.
RETAIL SALES / GAME OPERATOR
Retail sales involve selling items such as souvenirs, snacks, glow sticks, magic tricks, and Halloween merchandise. Game operator positions involve being in charge of a specific attraction game. These are not scare positions, but you must be in a costume appropriate to the theme that we will provide. Those interested should get along well with the public, be familiar with money handling, and cash register operations.
We look for people who can show up on time, be able to work on the weekends at least, have transportation to and from work, and simply love the Halloween season! If you think this is for you, please take the time to fill-out our simple form below. Our Casting Director will be in contact with you shortly.
