Ok Ok, I'm in, so what jobs are available?!?!
Build Crew: Starting In August, build crew will help fabricate, paint, and erect panel walls and sets to construct the walk-through maze customers will explore in the attraction. With this position, it is NOT required that you be available for all opening night shifts; a separate schedule will be made for work days prior to the event. Must be proficient with power tools and bring your own, be able to lift up to 50 pounds, have a good attitude, understand basic math and construction plans to follow a blueprint, ability to take instruction from your build crew lead.

Ideal candidates possess skills like carpentry, theatrical lighting/DMX, metalworking, electronics, pneumatics, special FX, and painting.
Acting, Dancing, and Singing Roles: The most vital part of our show…the monsters! Performers entertain and scare visitors as they explore the event. Performers are required to wear a costume and special FX makeup, which will be provided by Junkee’s Dark corner. You do not need to prepare a monologue; just come, have fun, and give us your best scream! No experience necessary. Exposure to acting or improv classes do give you the upper hand at having a more prominent character in the show.
Customer Service, Retail, Line Management, Custodial: Applicants must interview for these roles. Positions include Retail, Guest Services, Line Control Staff and Custodial. These positions require a lot of customer interaction. A positive attitude and a commitment to exceptional customer service are required. Most of these jobs do not require wearing a costume or makeup, just a team shirt, but it would be cool if you wanted to dress up anyway.
Deco Crew: Starting in September , a decoration crew will help turn the walls and fabricated set pieces of the project into a completely immersive environment and secret the ‘stage’ the actors will be working around and in throughout the performance. This might include….painting, attaching fabric, placing and securing decoration, creating curtains, placing furniture and props. This position requires an artistic eye and perhaps someone interested in interior design. Applicants must have a good attitude, be able to work on their feet and ladders for long periods, and have a basic knowledge of tools needed such as hot glue guns, staple guns, screws and nails.
Costume / Makeup Team: The Costume Department is made up of a team of talented costumers who dress and aid the cast of 30-40 performers each evening. Applicants must be people-oriented problem solvers who can think on their feet and work fast! The costume team works collaboratively and interacts closely with the actors. They must be interested in safe makeup application, creature conception, sewing-by hand, have basic painting, repairing, and fabricating skills, be able to lift at least 30 lbs., and have the ability to take initiative and work independently. Experience in make up and costuming gives you the upper hand but is not necessary. We can teach you! In addition to filling out an application, if you have a costume portfolio or makeup portfolio, please include it
Bar Staff: Junkee’s Dark Corner will operate a limited menu bar in a theatrical and interesting setting. Fast, friendly and efficient people with an alcohol awareness card and the willingness to wear a costume and makeup can apply.
