Gateway Playhouse, Bellport, is holding an open casting call for its interactive theatrical attraction: Gateway’s Haunted Playhouse. We will be holding both in-person and virtual casting calls. We are seeking actors to portray characters in this haunt-style production. Actors must be comfortable with makeup, special effects, and interaction with the public. Actors will be in close proximity to patrons and fellow actors who may/may not be vaccinated against Covid. Actors must be available for most Haunt and Preview nights with limited or no conflicts.

We offer limited housing on property (must fully vaccinated against Covid-19 to live on property) and masks are optional.

If interested, please send a headshot, resume, and quick 30-45 second video of a slate and yourself acting something other than human (no makeup, masks, or others need to be used in the scene). If you have any special haunt skills, please show them to us in the video!
