[Capdist-auditions] The New York State Museum's "Haunted Museum" Event Needs You!!!

[Pat Whalen]

The New York State Museum’s “Haunted Museum” event - which was
once
described by the Times-Union as “6,000 feet of pure terror” - will
be taking
place again this October 2009, and the Museum needs folks with
experience in
the performing arts to help with it. The Museum is seeking people with
“set
building” experience to help create the “Haunted Museum” as well
as folks
with acting experience to serve as “scare-actors” to frighten
visitors to
the “Haunted Museum.” This is strictly a volunteer gig; your
compensation
will be the deep sense of satisfaction that comes from scaring people
half
to death! Costumes, make-up and refreshments are all provided.

This is an opportunity to apply your talents to an event that supports
an
important cause. All the proceeds go to the Museum’s after-school
program
for under-served city youth, which depends entirely on grants and
contributions.

Below is the schedule of dates and times when the Museum is going to
need 
folks to come in to help them out this year. 
 

Saturday OCT. 24th 11-4:30 

 

Sunday OCT. 25th 11-4:30 

 

Friday night OCT. 30th 6-10
