The Dinsmore Homestead is a historic house museum in Burlington, KY which offers tours and programs highlighting the Dinsmore Family and their unique history.
The Dinsmore is looking for actors to portray historical characters for the October event, “Death and Dying on the Dinsmore Farm”. The event will include guided tours of the Dinsmore Homestead and Graveyard. At different points on the tour, actors will perform short (2-3 minute) scripted monologues and respond to visitors’ questions in character. Actors are expected to have their monologues memorized.

Costumes will be provided; actors will need to give their measurements.
