If You're A Performer (Or Tech...) And Want A Summer Gig...Check Out This Link


 I happened to catch an Instagram video as it went live today. It was from Lagoon, the amusement park, and it focused on summer jobs...more specifically, summer jobs working in their entertainment department. I feel qualified to say that being in a show, or working behind the scenes for a show, at Lagoon gives you an opportunity that's hard to match.

I've worked in the Entertainment Department at Lagoon--off and on--since 1983. I've seen a lot of shows and been in a lot of shows. I worked as a costumed character (anyone remember Rascal the Raccoon...?), an usher, a lighting director, a roving entertainer, a house manager, a guide, and one of my favorite jobs ever, a stuntman in their Wild West Show. I've seen and worked with a many talented people during that time, but those creating shows at Lagoon now are world-class.

That's not hyperbole.

It's true.

Each year the Entertainment Department looks for dancers, singers, performers, as well as lighting techs, audio techs, and backstage help. If you're interested in this unique experience, you can go to Lagoon's Instagram page by clicking: HERE and watch the twenty-minute video that was posted today where those behind the amazing shows are interviewed. In the video you'll also get information about auditions times and dates and how to get your information to Lagoon.

Lagoon has existed for more than one-hundred years. The goal for the park is for people to have fun, both patrons and employees. Doing shows there can be a blast. If you're interested, check out the video. You'll be working with world-class talent and getting paid as well. It's a good gig.
