Actor (m/d) as understudy for "The Jury Experience" in Munich

The Jury Experience is a series of interactive plays that always revolve around a fictional court case. The audience always takes on the role of the jury and can actively vote to decide whether evidence is admitted or witnesses are heard and whether the defendant is convicted or acquitted at the end. Depending on the audience's decisions, the play continues in different ways. The actors must therefore react to constantly changing audience votes. As the audience is part of the story, we play completely without a fourth wall.

This case in Munich is about the theft of a diamond necklace worth millions.

We offer:

• Rehearsal fee: €900 net

• €100 per date on which you don't play, but are available

• €200 per show, if you are standing in (usually 2 shows/day → €400 per day)

• Travel allowance for Stuttgart, Nuremberg, Augsburg & Zurich

Please send us your application:

• Letter

• Tabular CV (showing studies and previous activities)

• At least one current portrait picture and one full-body photo

• At least one good quality video with a theater monologue (live recording or recorded at home)

• Further photos, videos (e.g. About Me), critiques/reviews/reviews of your work

• are welcome. About Me), reviews/reports, etc. as links (not absolutely necessary)

For the theft case we currently need an understudy for the male roles: Judge, Defense Attorney & Jack.

• Jack likes to present himself as an average, likeable, down-to-earth and hard-working guy who has been taken advantage of by his rich employer. Under pressure, however, this facade quickly crumbles and you see his short-tempered, boorish, intimidating and irascible side.

• The judge is happiest on the golf course, but he occasionally "humbles" himself to

  preside over the court - especially when it's a high-profile case. His currency is power, and he likes to cultivate contacts in high circles, be it with politicians, businessmen or A-list celebrities. He has spent his entire life in high-ranking institutions, from expensive private schools to courtrooms, and therefore seems unworldly and detached from the "normal" people.

• The defense attorney Mister Gosford would prefer to remain inconspicuous and not be at the center of a sensational trial. He has spent his career representing shipping companies and oil suppliers in lucrative but publicly invisible deals. He would never act illegally himself, but he operates in an area that many would consider unethical. However, when his old friend Jack Clifton called, he couldn't say no - implicitly owing Jack (the defendant) a favor and fearing possible consequences of refusing. As a lawyer stepping in at short notice, Gosford feels overwhelmed and unprepared; but he is a good improviser and this plays into his hands. As the trial progresses, he gains increasing self-confidence.

Guidelines for understudies
