Working
for
Traveling Lantern
We are always looking for good actors, and have auditions as needed
in Portland, Los Angeles and New York. We are available to audition
at other times of the year, if you are in Portland. If you cannot
make our auditions in these areas, you can mail us a picture and
resume, and we will consider viewing a tape of your work in lieu
of an audition, after an initial interview with you over the phone.
What we are looking for: Intelligent, eager, physically
and vocally versatile actors who enjoy performing for children,
and who enjoy traveling. We want actors who are proactive, responsible,
and friendly, and who will infect audiences with their love of live
theatre. We want actors who have had professional training, and
we give preference to actors who have had previous experience in
quality children’s theatre. We want actors who are vibrant
and thoughtful communicators, good listeners, and who are positive
role models. We want actors who enjoy the teaching aspect of interaction
with children, as well as the performance aspect of storytelling.
We hire actors over the age of 21 and generally below
the age of 35 (due to the physical demands of the job). All of our
acting teams consist of two people, so we are always interested in
seeing actor couples, or friends who would like to perform and travel
together.
About the job: Actors are paid on a per show basis.
Gas, hotels and travel expenses are paid by TL.
We do not pay per diems for meals. We hire actors regardless of union
membership or lack thereof, under our own contracts. (We have no affiliation
with Actor’s Equity.)
Actors share driving responsibilities
while on the road so all applicants must have valid licenses and good
DMV driving records. At least one actor on each team must have a
dependable, insured vehicle which the team can comfortably travel
in.
If you are interested in auditioning for our company:
Please send a picture and resume (hard copies, please) to the address
below, along with a cover letter that includes all of your contact
information, and anything else you feel is pertinent. We will then
contact applicants whom we are interested in seeing for an audition.
Thank you for your interest in Traveling Lantern!
