“Scary tryouts” being held September 17 at Fright Nights’ casting call
West Palm Beach, Fla. — For those who think they have what it takes to scare people, the Fright Nights’ casting call is being held at noon on Sat., Sept. 17, at the Perfect Vodka Amphitheatre (previously Cruzan Amphitheatre), 601-7 Sansburys Way, West Palm Beach. Two forms of ID are required.
“We are looking for energetic male and female performers, 16 years of age and older with all levels of experience for both paid and volunteer positions,” said Creative Director Craig McInnis. “We are also looking for stilt walkers and other performers with unique talents.”
Kids younger than 16 can work, but must have a parent who volunteers to work alongside them. Fright Nights also has a staffing need for kids ages 7 and up for the Sunnyville schoolhouse.
Fright Nights is slated for multiple nights: October 7-8, 13-15, 20-22, and 27-29. The midway hours are from 6 p.m.-11 p.m. on weeknights and until midnight on Friday and Saturday nights. The haunted houses open at 7 p.m. Performers typically arrive at 4:30 p.m. and leave at midnight. Children under 15 leave at their parents’ discretion.
Fright Nights will feature four haunted houses this year: Sunnyville School House, where the children come out, but not to play; Pestilence: an age of plagues and vampires; The Doll Factory, where evil lurks behind their glassy eyes; and The Void, a terrifying trip into darkness. In addition, guests can enjoy rides on the family-friendly “Monster Midway” – complete with live entertainment featuring magic and sideshows, local and regional bands and food and beverages.
Online advance discount tickets are on sale now through Oct. 6 at www.myfrightnights.com. A $20 general admission ticket includes entrance admission and includes three haunted houses and unlimited Midway rides. A $25 ”Terror Ticket” includes four haunted houses and unlimited Midway rides. McInnis advises patrons to take advantage of getting the advance tickets now, as prices will increase at the gate. Parental discretion is advised for those younger than 12 years old.
