CASTING CALL — MoA Ensemble at THE MINISTRY OF AWE (Philadelphia)

“Is it an art gallery?” she asked rhetorically. “Is it a theater? Is it a museum? Is it a dream? It’s none of those and all of those…”
— Alexis Soloski, The New York Times

Clown. Character actor. Improviser. Dancer. Delight-maker. Wild card.

We want you to bring your currency to our bank.

The Ministry of Awe is a new, ever-evolving immersive art experience in Philadelphia, housed inside a transformed 19th-century bank and reimagined as a surreal world where the only true currency is the human spirit. Every interaction is an invitation to wonder, play, and discover.

We are currently seeking freewheeling creatives to join our MoA Ensemble — performers who can help guests navigate the unexpected with warmth, curiosity, humor, and improvisational skill.
