Do you love wiener dogs and beer based traditional German games? Then have we got the opportunity for you!
We’re looking for some more cast members for our Oktoberfest at SteelStacks 2024. Cast members help run games and contests such as stein holding, wiener dog races, pup parades, drag shows, and more! Cast members will be asked to MC many of these events so must be comfortable talking to large crowds on a microphone.
Octoberfest is Oct 4,5,6 and 11,12,13. Pay is $12/hr.
Mandatory cast rehearsal is Tuesday, October 1st from 7p -9p (also paid!)
Cast members are also given a $50 stipend to purchase traditional German dirndl or lederhosen to be worn during the festival as well as a food stipend ($15 for under 6-hour shifts, and $25 for 6 or more.)
Interviews will be scheduled in late August 2024.
Hours:
Must be available for at least two 6 hour shifts within the following days/times: Oct 4 (4p – 11p), Oct 5 (11a – 10p), Oct 6, (11a – 6p), Oct 11 (4p – 11p), Oct 12 (11a – 10p), Oct 13, (11a – 6p).
Rehearsal:
Rehearsal will be Tuesday, October 1st from 7p – 9p. We’ll first be meeting on the first floor of the ArtsQuest center then taking a tour of the Oktoberfest ground so you can get acquainted with the area. We’ll then move to the Blast Furnace room on the Second Floor of the ArtsQuest Center where we’ll go over and do some practice runs of stein holding, wiener dog races, and other events that y’all will be hosting and running.
Pay:
Pay starts at $12/hr
In addition to your hourly rate, you’ll also be receiving food stipends. $15 for under 6-hour shifts, and $25 for 6 or more.
Costumes:
Each cast member will receive a $50 costume stipend to purchase, make, or rent their own costume.
Please note that costume will need to be approved by manager.
Please also note that the $50 stipend will be paid to you either the first or second weekend of the festival.
- Make sure when purchasing to look at the details of what’s included. Some dirndls include the shirt, others don’t and same with lederhosen. You can definitely buy these items separately or add a white blouse with the dirndl or button-down shirt with the lederhosen (you can do either the traditional checked shirt or I’m fine if you just want to wear a solid button down that you already have, just send me a picture so I know it works with the lederhosen)
