“Scare Actors” are sought for the upcoming haunted season for the variety of attractions at Maan Farms.
Actor positions fall under four different categories, all with their own pay grade and qualifications.
Levels:
- Emerging Performer ($18-$23 per hour)
- Intermediate Artist ($23-$29 per hour)
- Accomplished Artist ($29-$35 per hour)
- Veteran Performer ($35-$40 per hour)
Foundational acting skills, some experience in film, television, or theatre productions, and a willingness to learn and grow are assets for emerging performers.
At the other end of the scale, to apply as a veteran performer, you need to be a seasoned actor with extensive experience across various forms of media. Positions require hopeful actors to complete an audition.
