BUSCH GARDENS ENTERTAINMENT - 2014 Core Performers



BUSCH GARDENS ENTERTAINMENT with the support of BOB CLINE CASTING is happy to announce auditions for the 2014 Season for Busch Gardens Williamsburg. The award-winning Busch Gardens takes great pride and care in the direction the Entertainment department is headed.

Some of the Creatives for our new shows include Lisa Shriver, Shelly Isler, Matt West, Karma Camp, Ken Billington and Toni-Leslie James, to name a few.

We are seeking a few triple threats, but mostly strong Singer/Actors and strong Dancer/Actors. Rehearsals for most shows begin late February and open in March. Show end times vary based on the show, but most will end the last week of August or the first week of September. Shows perform up to 5 times a day. All roles are paid.
