Summary
We are seeking an Actor or two to join our dynamic team at Lunar, located in Barlaston. This role is being created by company founder, Craig Wilkinson, an actor himself with a background in producing events & entertainment experiences. Craig is keen to explore bringing in an Actor role to the restaurant to be the welcome host for guests to help create memorable experiences and tell the Lunar story. A pivotal role in enhancing our guests' experience through engaging with guests that align with our mission of creating memorable dining moments. Join us in celebrating local produce and artistry.
The role would be focused around our dinner service, currently Friday & Saturday evening as well as our Sunday lunch service. The aim is that during service times our Actor performs the role of a Host, we have a script with the layers of the Lunar Society and the Lunar story but the role combines storytelling with the functional role of being our Restaurant Host. Craig feels like the role would be a good fit for a performer to fit around other work, studying etc.
