If you've ever wanted to be part of something immersive, creative, and unforgettable, this is your chance to join the outbreak.

Factory of Fear, one of Northern Virginia's premier haunted attractions, is looking for scare actors to join our cast this Halloween season! As a scare actor, you'll become one of the survivors, infected, scientists, soldiers, or creatures that bring this world to life.

If interested, please attend our upcoming Scare Actor Information Session on Tuesday, July 21 at 6:30 PM, at the ARTfactory, 9419 Battle Street, Manassas, VA. This is not an audtion, no previous acting or haunt experience is necessary—just enthusiasm, energy, and a willingness to make our guests scream. For ages 16 and up.

Students should come prepared with a few monologue or song options they would like to explore. The workshop will also include tips and tricks on how to enter the audition room, how to present yourself during each part of the audition and what to expect through the process.

For the dance portion, students should wear comfortable clothing and shoes they can move in (sneakers or jazz shoes recommended). Whether you're new to auditioning or looking to level up your skills, this workshop will help you feel more prepared and empowered for your next role.
