For those unfamiliar: NPCs (Non-Player Characters) are the beating heart of immersive theatre.

These performers portray nobles, diplomats, merchants, tricksters, and key figures from both mortal and fae factions.

They guide interactions, seed rumors, deepen the storyline, and create unforgettable, personal moments for guests throughout the night.

Step Into the Realm of the Faelight Ball!

We are seeking dynamic, creative performers for a storytelling experience unlike anything else. The Faelight Ball will mark the first immersive fantasy ball of its kind in Simcoe County, and we are building a cast bold enough to bring it to life.

• Comfort engaging directly with guests in an immersive setting

• Comfortable wearing minor prosthetics (ears, etc.) and following specific hair and makeup guidelines

• Willingness to provide additional assistance to guests when required (directions, guidance, etc.)

In addition, we are seeking ten (10) non-named mortal characters with strong serving experience who can assist with dinner and bar service while deepening guest immersion by remaining in character throughout the evening.

This is not traditional theatre. This is living storytelling. We’re looking for performers who can embody a character fully, think on their feet, and help create a night guests will never forget.

If you feel called to the realm, we’d love to hear from you.
