What they are looking for
The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania troupe of The Murder Mystery Co is open to new actors. The company specializes in immersive theater, with dinner mysteries in about 20 cities plus private events, and it uses its own improv techniques to bring guests into the story. Over time you can move into other offerings such as Famous For A Day. This is a non-union job. It is paid, starting at $75 per show, with possible tips, and it covers rehearsals and qualifying travel. Using your own car earns a bonus but is not required. The work runs from November 15, 2026, to December 31, 2027. The listing does not give a closing date, so it makes sense to apply before that start date. Apply through the original listing.
Castina's tip
Since they also do private events, show that you can adapt to different crowds, from a company party to a family dinner. If you have hosted events or performed for kids, say so, because it opens the door to their other brands. Before you apply, watch the company video linked in the listing to catch the tone. Then ask which trips qualify for reimbursement and how shows get assigned in Philadelphia.
