WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
Are you an actor, storyteller, or improv performer? Maybe a comedian, or a former teacher, or just a natural at captivating a crowd? No matter what, if you have a gift for making people feel good, getting them to relax and laugh, and you can make a story come to life, this could be your ideal gig!
