Event Details

Come prepared to scare!

ARTfactory is looking for scare actors ages 16 and up for our new haunt:

Factory of Fear

Friday, October 25 from 6:00-11:00pm and Saturday, October 26 from 6:00pm-11:00pm

The audition will consist of several guided group exercises to show our team how well you understand the nuances and timing of scaring.

The team will observe your characterization choices, so please come up with an idea of what character(s) (ie, witch, vampire, zombie, ghost, and/or others) you will embody during each exercise. Other than that, you will not need to prepare anything for the audition.

Guidelines:

  • NO PROPS: please don’t bring any physical props to the audition.
  • Please wear comfortable attire that allows free movement.
  • If we need to see something from you, we will ask to see it. You do not need to prepare anything except the character(s) you’d like to show us during the exercises.
  • Please only scare when asked. DO NOT take it upon yourself to startle or scare anyone outside of the audition space.
  • Saftey is the number one goal at ALL TIMES. If you are doing something that is unsafe or could jeopardize the safety of anyone at the auditions, you may be asked to leave.

We want to see that you take direction well, are willing to step outside of your comfort zone, and understand scaring and the timing required to maximize the effects.
