SHOW DETAILS:

The Dinner Detective is America’s LARGEST Murder Mystery Dinner Show, with 100+ locations in North America! Our shows are set in the present day and take place in real time. We perform our Public Shows on select Saturdays at the Courtyard Alexandria Pentagon South, along with On-Site and Off-Site Private Shows (as arranged).



This is an Ongoing, Professional, Paid Run. Most shows take place on Saturday nights. Rehearsal is from 4:00 - 5:45 PM, and the show is from 6:00 - 9:00 PM. Pre-show rehearsals are for that night’s cast only. You will not work every show; we allow for flexibility for our performers and we can accommodate most schedules, as we are casting a pool of performers.



CASTING DETAILS:

Roles are open to all actors, improvisers, and performers. You must be comfortable interacting with audience members in scripted situations. You will be expected to blend in with the audience during the show. Actors receive compensation of $50 - $110 depending on role, and also receive dinner and performer gratuity. Actors are scheduled according to their availability, collected each month.



AUDITION DETAILS:

Audition consists of improv games, performing scenes and exercises, and talking as a group. No need to prepare a monologue/scene in advance; audition is completely improvised. Those auditioning should be prepared to stay for 2 hours, but could be released earlier. No callbacks.



SUBMISSIONS:

Please submit headshot and resume if available (but not required), via email to wdc.info@thedinnerdetective.com, and let us know your availability for both dates (or if one is preferred).

We look forward to seeing you there!
