Dust off your boots! Knott’s Berry Farm is seeking performers to bring the town of Calico to life in GHOST TOWN ALIVE!, our award-winning immersive theater experience set in the streets of historic Ghost Town. We’re looking for engaging storytellers and character performers who enjoy connecting with guests and helping create a living, breathing town full of memorable encounters and adventure. Performers will interact with visitors throughout the day while contributing to the ongoing stories of Calico’s residents.

The town of Calico is home to a wide range of characters from young dreamers to seasoned townsfolk. We welcome a diverse spectrum of gender identities, ethnic and cultural backgrounds who can bring those stories to life to audition. Bi-lingual performers are strongly encouraged to attend.

Candidates who attend the audition should come ready to move, collaborate with others, and participate in a variety of guided group activities and character exercises.
