Los Angeles, CA 90015 | Seasonal | Sept - Nov

Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group is the nation's leading creator of immersive, story-driven entertainment—and proudly the world's largest operator of Halloween attractions. With eighteen markets spanning Florida to California and millions of guests thrilled each year, we don't just produce events. We redefine what's possible. Headquartered in Denver and powered by a team of fearless creators, we've built a culture where curiosity, collaboration, and a relentless drive to go beyond expectations are the standard—not the exception.

Returning applicants: If you have worked for Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group in a prior season, please contact your location manager directly regarding rehire status. Do not submit a new application through the online system.

What You'll Do

As a Seasonal Actor for Delusion, you become a core storyteller and guide inside a fully realized, site-specific world. You will lead guests through a live, cinematic experience where your performance, presence, and interaction pull them directly into the narrative.

Storytelling & Guest Immersion

Bring intricate characters to life through authentic performances and in-character interactions with guests.
Escort and immerse visitors into the unfolding tale, adapting to their reactions and choices in real time.
Use expressive body language, movement, and improvisation to heighten tension and atmosphere throughout the experience.
Leverage sets, props, and environmental elements to create impactful, memorable dramatic moments.

Collaboration, Adaptability & Show Flow

Work closely with fellow performers and crew to respond to unpredictable audience behavior and live-show variables.
Take direction from supervisors and adjust your performance as needed to accommodate script updates, show notes, and traffic flow.
Communicate clearly with other actors, stage management, and technical staff to support seamless, high-quality performances.

Safety, Awareness & Guest Experience

Remain vigilant for safety concerns, guest distress, or rule violations, and promptly alert leadership when needed.
Follow all safety protocols related to movement, light stunt work, special effects, and work in low-light or confined spaces.
Maintain character while staying aware of guest comfort levels, boundaries, and accessibility needs at all times.

Qualifications

What You Bring

Strong acting abilities with excellent improvisational skills and comfort performing directly for and with guests.
Ability to memorize lines, blocking, and show structure while staying flexible and responsive in the moment.
Comfort performing in dark, enclosed, eerie, or unsettling environments to enhance the immersive experience.
Comfortable with light stunt work (training provided) appropriate to your individual abilities and show requirements.
Capable of sustained physical activity including standing, walking, running, crouching, and rapid movement in a demanding environment.
Able to perform in low-light conditions and around special effects such as fog, strobe lighting, and loud soundscapes.
Proven ability to collaborate within a diverse team of performers, technicians, and supervisors.
Demonstrated professionalism, reliability, punctuality, and respectful communication with guests and team members.
Must be available to work evenings, weekends, and peak seasonal periods.
Must be 18 years of age or older.
