(But we want the team ready by mid-December)

So here are the people we ideally need:

  • 10 contestants (approximately): people who are fine with seeming ridicule within a reasonable limit, as long as you don’t pee yourself when in front of an audience
  • 2 Backstage people: Who tell when who has to go on stage
  • 4 people for set up and cleaning
  • 3 Actors: will interact with contestants on stage in various costume outfits, gonna be really funny
  • 5 Artists (painter or any graphic art) to make the background picture: We’ll paint a huge cardboard surface with eccentric colours that we’ll use as a wall
  • 1 to 2 people for sound and video: You will have to coordinate jingles and background videos, it’s a tough task but can be really fun!

So if you are interested in helping please fill in the following form below. We will get back to you soon!
