Actors needed for corporate training

Actors:

Leavenworth Players Group, a professional acting company based in Saint Louis, is conducting interviews with actors who are interested in participating in our team that will conduct corporate preparedness empowerment.  Corporate preparedness empowerment will basically involve traveling (at company expense) to corporations and training their executives on our skill set as improvisational actors (e.g., creativity, trust establishment, thinking outside of the box) and presenting vignettes and exercises focused upon certain human resources and labor law issues in the workplace.

Compensation for individual team members will be one thousand dollars for a full day empowerment and five hundred dollars for a half day empowerment.  This is a serious professional commitment; thus, only professional individuals need apply.

We will begin to interview actors this coming Wednesday.  Once we've assembled the team, we will schedule rehearsal and empowerment times.  In order to interview, you must have a three to five minute informative speech prepared.  Please arrive at the interview in professional attire.

Please do not respond to this email with an email.  If you're interested in pursuing this wonderful opportunity, please set up an interview.  In order to set up an interview, please telephone the director, Greg Marino, or the Leavenworth Players Group office manager, Margaret McElwee, at the production office number listed below.  Thanks.
