It's a rare occurrence when trawling through the job ads to see a call for members of the Jedi order but such is the sight that will greet readers of The Stage this morning. It’s a Star Wars fan’s dream job (kind of) and if you’re a jobbing actor or extra then grab your lightsaber and apply. The full job ad reads:
“Jedis required for Star Wars Halloween at Chessington World of Adventures (6th - 8th Oct, 13th -15th Oct & 19th - 31st October inclusive plus rehearsal days). Jedis must be friendly & have an enthusiastic approach to entertaining children. Stage combat skills an advantage.”
Would-be guardians of peace and justice who fancy showing off their saber skills should apply to Chessington in writing with a CV, photo and covering letter, explaining why they think they feel the Force, by Friday 8 September. The address to send it is: Katie Vale, Entertainments Department, Chessington World of Adventures, Leatherhead Road, Chessington, Surrey, KT9 2NE.
May the Force be with you.
