Greetings!

I hope all is well with you.

We are currently casting for a few upcoming shows and talent is very much needed. Do you know any actors or a musician who might be available?

First, we need a male, or female, actor for a haunted wagon ride at Mohonk Mountain House for their Forest of Fear event on Friday, October 30th. This is what they're calling "jump scare" acting, and I need to fill the role of a hitchhiker who pops out of the forest to board the wagon. They'll be five 15 minute tours within a two hour period. This is a paid gig, plus dinner at Mohonk!

We also need a musician for a murder mystery on October 17th. A violinist would be preferred but we're open to other solo instruments. 

And this Sunday starting at 6 pm we are having auditions for A Christmas Carol at the Arts Society of Kingston. We need men! That would include Scrooge, Bob Cratchit and the Ghosts of Christmas. All ghosts, including Marley, will be played by one actor. This is the 27th year of this very successful and beloved show.

Again, paid gigs with dinner.

If anyone comes to mind, please send me their name and contact info. If your recommendation works out - I will reward you with dinner passes for Mohonk Mountain House.

Thank you for your help!
