In The Canticle of the Black Madonna, we’re hiring 8 supers (5 men and 3 women) to appear during one scene in the opera dressed in an Army uniform. Strong preference is given to combat veterans, but this call is open to actors in their 20’s, 30’s, or early 40’s who can take on the look of a US Soldier for this production.

Compensation is $200, admittance to all The Canticle of the Black Madonna special events, and one complementary ticket for a friend to attend the opera.
