What they are looking for
The Murder Mystery Co, an immersive theater company that runs shows in about 20 US cities, is casting actors for its Kansas City, Missouri, troupe. The work covers dinner theater and private events where actors use improv to get guests involved in solving a crime. There are also chances to branch into the company's other experiences, like The Princess Party Co. The engagement runs from November 15, 2026, through December 2027. It is paid, starting at $75 per show, with possible tips, gas reimbursement, and travel bumps; rehearsals are paid and qualifying travel and lodging are reimbursed. This is a non-union job. Apply through the original listing.
Castina's tip
This job runs on improv with a live audience, so highlight any experience in improv, event hosting, or interactive theater. Practice holding a character while chatting with strangers and answering their questions without breaking. If you have a car, say so, since the company pays a bonus for using your own vehicle. Ask how many shows a month Kansas City usually books so you can gauge what it is worth to you.
