We're looking for a few good American Legends to help create the AMAZING guest experience at Mapleside Farms. Strolling characters are an extremely important part of the guest experience we create at Mapleside Farms. It goes way beyond "putting on a costume" and walking around. I ask that my actors prepare for their roles through research and exploration. What would it take for you to become Abraham Lincoln or Amelia Earhart? How would you bring depth to embody Betsy Ross or Davy Crockett? Study them and be prepared to talk about their life AS THAT PERSON. Recall stories of your adventures. Make it real. As Actors, we LOVE to perform. And we often perform for free just because we love doing it. How many shows do you do where you don't get paid? And if you DO get paid, what are you getting paid for if you love it so much that you'd do it for free? I consider this the ultimate actor TRAINING. Consider that you're really getting paid to investigate, research and prepare in order to give that AMAZING PERFORMANCE that you then do for free because you love it so much. Is it challenging to perform a character face to face with a guest, without the safety net of fellow actors to pull some focus or a backstage to run to for solace? YES it is. But THAT'S what makes you better. When you challenge yourself, make yourself vulnerable, throw your self in the deep end to learn how to swim, throw your self in the fire to learn how to survive. Otherwise you're not really acting, you're just pretending. It's not the same thing. *American Legends* - September 22rd and 23rd , 2018 (Johnny Appleseed weekend) -- 9:30a-2:30p and 12:30p-5:30p Paul Bunyan(Big man with a beard), Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn, John Henry (Muscular African American), Astronaut John Glenn (any age just have very little hair), Casey Jones (train engineer) Abraham Lincoln, Davy Crockett, Pocahontas, Amelia Earhart, Betsy Ross, Marilyn Monroe, Annie Oakley.
