--An Edit. Please Post This Version Instead--<br><br>The Albany Aqua Ducks and Trolleys are looking for local actors to play
character roles for our interactive and historic tours. No experience
necessary and all ages accepted. (Children are welcome but must be
accompanied by an adult) <br>
<br>Must be engaging, energetic and have a great sense of humor. Your
own car preferred. The Albany Aqua Ducks can provide minor make up and
costume pieces, but actors are welcome and encouraged to bring their own
costume pieces as well. Great opportunities for child actors, retirees
and actors with a sense of humor who like to have fun. <br>
<br>The Tours and Dates are as Follows: (more dates possible to follow)<br><br><u><b>Albany Pirate Tour</b></u> (September 10th & 25th)<br><br>Henry
Hudson's mutinous pirates are cursed to roam the lands of the Hudson
Valley, never to be reunited with their beloved waters again. However,
they have recently heard word of a magic boat that can traverse on Land
and on Water. If stolen, they can return once again to the water they
crave. Mad Molly and Crazy Kathy are leading the crew of this mysterious
Aqua Duck boat. As they search Albany for treasure, they must teach
their young travelers how to be fearsome pirates in order to scare away
Henry's blood thirsty pirate crew.<br>
<br>Looking for: Actors to play Henry's cursed pirates. Actors will be
going to different areas of the city, where they will sneak up on the
boat and try to steal it for themselves. They will steal the Duck's
treasured pirate flag and hold it for ransom, taunting the crew along
the way. The audience is made up of children ages 4-11. At the end,
actors pose for pictures with the children. <br>
<br>Actors of any age welcome, but children must have an adult. <br>
<br><u><b>Albany Historic Trolley Ghost Tour</b></u> (Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays in October) <br><br>A guide on the vehicle is giving an historic tour of some of the most famous ghost stories in Albany. <br><br>Looking
For: Zombies! Similar to the pirate tour, Zombies will be
strategically placed around various locations around the city. At
times, they will be hungry and pounce upon the trolley. Some times they
stare menacingly across the street. Picture the "Night of the Living
Dead meets Albany, NY." There will also be moments of history that
come to life on significant Albany streets. <br>
<br>Potential to play featured ghost roles such as notorious bootlegger
Leggs Diamond, his show girl girlfriend Kiki Roberts or murderer Jesse
Strang. <br><br>Audience will be made up of various ages and actors will adjust the scare factor depending on the age. <br>
<br> Actors of any age welcome, but children must have an adult. <br><br>---<br><br>If interested, please call with your name and number the Duck Office: 462- DUCK (3825) or e-mail us at <a href="mailto:info@albanyaquaducks.com" target="_blank">info@albanyaquaducks.com</a> You do not have to commit to do every tour. <br>
