Interested in working with us? We are looking for professional actors only! If you are a professional actor, we are looking for all types and ages to cast in our shows. We are especially interested in those professional actors with singing, improv, stage combat, comedy and any other special skills as well as actors with special uniforms. Look for our casting notices in BACKSTAGE and other casting services. You may also email us with a link to a site which has your P&R, Video Reel and Voice Reel - BUT DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EMAIL IT AS OUR EMAIL SERVER CANNOT HANDLE LARGE ATTACHMENTS (And please no phone calls - we cannot return calls regarding casting). PLEASE ALSO NOTE: if you are currently working with another murder mystery company, please let them know that you are also submiting to us....it is OK that you work with other companies - you're actors - but some murder mystery companies get upset about this (we don't).
And for those of you interested in starting your own Killing Kompany...well, actually, it's not that easy. In fact, we don't license out our scripts (and we have hundreds of different ones) to every group who wants to put on a show. Our many years of experience with murder mystery dinner shows has been this - professional productions are best left to professional companies. So we are not really looking for local actors, directors and producers to set up local KILLING KOMPANY groups. However, if you are a local, community, amateur, non-professional or professional theatre group - we may be able to work with you by having one or more of our actors come down to do the show with your group. Call us with your interest at 1 888 SHOOT-EM or 212 772-2590 or Email us at killingkompany@killingkompany.com
