Seeking Teens for New Bern Ghostwalk
Seeking actors ages 17 and up for New Bern Ghostwalk. Please see the details below. Additional info: The Historical Society is looking for a few good ghosts. Whether you are a spirited novice or have lots of ghostly experience, the Historical Society wants you to portray the historic characters in this year’s Ghostwalk. Ghostwalk brings to life noted personalities from New Bern’s past who tell their stories. There’s no need to worry, though; all the apparitions in these stories are from the pages of history, not from science fiction. Each year a new and different batch of spirits appear. The Historical Society is looking for volunteers; responsible teens with a parent are invited to audition to play the adult roles. No preparation is necessary. Participants will be asked to read from scripts. Those selected as ghosts will learn a script and participate in at least 5 rehearsals prior to Ghostwalk. They will perform at one of the many ghost sites, including Cedar Grove Cemetery or historic porches, for all three nights. There are also some non-speaking roles available. Let directors know if you are interested in those. Ghostwalk will take place on the evenings of October 22-24, 2026. If interested, please apply.
