SEEKING: We are in search of unique artists who bring both exceptional singing abilities and a willingness to dive into the world of immersive storytelling. ALL members of the company will be part of the ensemble, stepping out to assume various featured roles as cast. While experience in immersive storytelling is preferred, a strong passion and eagerness to embrace this innovative approach is equally valued. We are seeking actors who lead with a sense of community and who want to contribute equally, as a company, to the storytelling experience as a whole.

ENSEMBLE: A diverse group of performers who portray various characters and play an integral role in creating the immersive world. Strong singing, movement, and acting abilities are required.
