Production Description
Seeking
performers for "Camp Half-Blood," an outdoor immersive children’s LARP
(live-action role playing) adventure for summer camp program. Production
states: "Inspired by the world of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and The
Olympians novels, Camp Half-Blood is at the heart of Plato Learning’s
mission, 'Adventure Powered by Story.' By bringing tales from mythology,
history, and fiction to life, we plunge our campers into the center of
the action. They are transported to another world and given the chance
to prove themselves as Legendary Heroes. "We don’t just re-stage these
age-old tales, we re-frame and re-purpose them into something new that
our campers can experience for the first time. There are (foam)
sword-fights, puzzles, negotiations, and performance challenges as they
journey to complete their heroic Quest."
Actors & Performers
production
states: "Actors play larger than life mythological characters set in
the modern-day, not far from the Percy Jackson universe (think Hermes in
running shorts instead of a toga). Each week you could be a God, a
Hero, a Villain, a Monster, a Nymph, an Oracle, or a combination of
these. Everyone must feel comfortable engaging groups of kids, ages
6-12, in improvised in-character dialogue and LARP, or boffer-style,
combat (with safe foam weapons) in an outdoor environment on Quest Day, a
once-a-week full-day adventure. The ensemble will consist of a team of
actors who collaborate with a Quest Director to bring each storyline to
life for their particular camp location."
