2025 EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION
Actors:
We are always on the lookout for new spooky talent to join our haunted house family! If you think you have what it takes to scare, entertain, or help bring the fright to life, we want to hear from you. Step into the darkness and become part of the terror that keeps our guests coming back for more!
Some staff are required to report to work at 5:00pm; however, ALL staff MUST report to work by 6:00pm on the nights that they are scheduled. No exceptions.
Work usually lasts till midnight or later. You must be able to work the entire shift from 6:00pm till close!
Again, your chances of being hired are greater if you are available to work ALL, or most, of the dates, and are…enthusiastic!
First and foremost, it is a job, but it's a fun job!
If your dream is to act, The 13th Gate is a great place to begin or if you're already an actor, it's a great place to practice and have a blast performing in a unique show!
This is your chance to perform for thousands of people, a different audience every other minute, and play different roles.
