Off-stage Skin Performers – In the Night Garden Live
London – The O2 / Richmond Old Deer Park
Minor Entertainment was created in 2009 to produce spectacular family theatre events in unique spaces. Over the last eight years our first production, In the Night Garden Live (ItNGL), has toured across the UK in a purpose built inflatable theatre and has been seen by over 900,000 people. In 2018, ItNGL is touring again and we require off-stage performers for our shows in The O2 and Richmond Old Deer Park, London.
Further information about the show can be found at the event website: www.nightgardenlive.com

We’re looking for performers with experience of working in full character costume. In order to fit our costumes, performers must be of slim build and between 5’1’’ and 5’5’’ in height. We particularly welcome applications from performers who have previously worked with children.
