The candidate will be able to rely likewise that all members of the cast(s) will be expected to meet such professional standards, thus complimenting and supporting the candidates own individual efforts.

This is a unique opportunity offering ongoing work throughout the year. A great deal of the work falls on days and times unlikely to conflict with other performance work you may have. The vast majority of performances are scheduled with great advance notice.

All of our acts require our performers to be performing on their feet, and are fully choreographed productions. The proper candidate should understand we are a "Performance Company", and the candidate should be prepared to be an on-stage, choreographed, musical "Performer". We do not sit on chairs.

If you're looking to do minimal work to grab the money, please don't waste your time or ours. We are serious about doing top level professional performance work, thus entertaining our audiences to a level that leaves them saying nothing less than, "Wow! That was amazing!", while simultaneously recognizing producing this level of performance is the only path to having more work.

The proper candidate is the person that knows the details are everything!

The proper candidate knows when it's time to have something prepared, and they get it done without fail. If you want work, and you qualify yourself, we will put you to work. Be prepared to work very hard if you want the work and the spot in the show, and want to keep it should it be offered to you.
