The Manitoba Museum is looking for volunteer actors to add color and character to our Cosmomania exhibit. All actors will receive plenty of exposure, publicity, some free passes to the Museum and to our Yuri's Night event. It's a great chance to practice your craft and have a lot of fun doing it!

Cosmomania Actor

Time required: minimum 1 x 3-hour shift per week from Feb 4th,

2011 through

April 17th, 2011, plus additional rehearsal time in advance of first shift (probably 1 x 3 hour shift)

Job Description:

The actor will take on the role of a character in the Cosmomania exhibit which celebrates the past 50 years of space exploration. Each character is set in a particular time period of spaceflight history, and each has a particular perspective on the "space race" or event in question. The actor will interact in character with visitors, asking them prompting questions and giving them a feel for the historic time period and the significance of the event.

Some costuming

will be provided by the museum as appropriate. Actors will also be able to direct visitors to basic museum amenities like restrooms and food services, and be able to answer some basic questions about the exhibit (based on briefing provided by the Museum).

Character profiles are attached. If you or someone you know is interested, please contact Scott Young at scyoung@manitobamuseum.ca or 988-0627.

Please help us spread the word!

Cheers,

Holli
