We are growing rapidly, so we are always open to adding more staff to our team. If you’ve got high energy and a passion for entertaining families that you’d like to leverage on your weekends for extra money, get in touch with us and we’ll schedule a meeting!
This gig-based opportunity is ideal for those already employed and have a desire to make extra money on the side. Most roles are filled on a first-come, first-served basis so the more eager and responsive you are, the more you’ll make. All staff are hired as Helpers and can optionally apply as a Character Performer when their training is complete. Whether you want to wear both hats or just want to be a Helper, we require the following of all staff members:
A Helper’s job is to attend events with booked performer(s) for safety purposes and to primarily perform tasks that performers would not be able to do without breaking character. This includes but is not limited to:
Training: New hires will attend several events with an experienced Helper and Performer to observe first-hand what the expectations are and to get familiar with all aspects of the average event. The goal is to slowly ease new hires into taking a more active role at events until they feel they are ready. The final assessment is for the new hire to act as the primary Helper at an event while a manager supervises in case they are in need of support.
A Performer’s job is to attend events in costume, portraying a specific character by ways of acting, moving, and potentially singing in accordance with their origin story. The highest priorities for a performer is to remain in character and to keep the guests entertained and happy. To qualify for character positions, Potential Performers must first:
Auditions: Management can work with you on all of the above requirements. The final decision is made when they are all combined. Potential Performers will get into full costume, makeup, and hair to portray a specific character for a one-hour walking meet and greet session in a public space like a park. Management will supervise and take notes, providing a final Pass/Fail Evaluation at the end with any feedback they may have.
