Communicate and collaborate with fellow actors, operations, and technical staff to support smooth, high-quality show operations.

Safety and Compliance

Remain alert to safety concerns, guest issues, or policy violations and report them promptly.
Follow all safety procedures, costume and makeup guidelines, and operational protocols to protect yourself, your team, and our guests.
