Casting Call for OKTOBERFEST ZINZINNATI’S New Das Glockenspiel Stage

The Cincinnati Regional Chamber is seeking performers and supporting crew for the Das Glockenspiel Stage, a brand-new attraction debuting at Oktoberfest Zinzinnati as part of its 50th Anniversary celebration!

This is a paid stipend opportunity through the Cincinnati Regional Chamber.

This exciting live performance springs to life during the first eight minutes of every hour, just like a giant Bavarian cuckoo clock. Set in front of a charming Bavarian village façade featuring a working bell tower and clock face, the show begins as the clock chimes and its whimsical characters emerge to entertain the crowd. Inspired by the beloved glockenspiel shows of Cleveland and Tulsa Oktoberfest, the production blends Bavarian folklore, physical comedy, live music, dance, and Cincinnati-inspired humor into a lively, family-friendly spectacle. Each hourly performance transforms the village into a larger-than-life living cuckoo clock, creating a unique Oktoberfest tradition that guests will want to experience again and again.

Ashley Herbert and Paula Gerhardt are co-directing this new production, and we’re excited to bring this one-of-a-kind theatrical experience to the festival for the very first time.

The submission deadline is Sunday, August 2, 2026, at midnight, so it’s a quick turnaround. We’d be incredibly grateful if Behind the Curtain could help us spread the word to the Cincinnati theatre community as soon as possible.

Would you be willing to share our casting call and stage manager announcement with your audience? We truly appreciate your continued support of local artists and theatre organizations.

If you need any additional information, graphics, or promotional materials, I’d be happy to send them your way.
