Job Position(s): Live Performer | Actor | Entertainer | Guest Experience | Part-Time

Ikon Search is hiring a Live Performer, Actor, and Entertainer for a guest experience role at a new experiential museum in Times Square, New York. This is a live performance position inside an immersive attraction, where the performer leads guests through a staged recreation of the New Year’s Eve countdown on a repeating loop throughout each shift. The role suits performers with a background in live audience entertainment, whether that’s theater, theme park performance, immersive experience work, or scare acting.

About the Role

This Live Performer, Actor, and Entertainer role sits at the intersection of live performance and guest experience hosting inside a high-volume immersive attraction. Each shift involves running the same countdown-to-midnight show multiple times for rotating groups of guests, including tourists, families, and school groups, with consistent energy from the first performance to the last. The venue operates daily, so reliability and physical stamina are as important here as stage presence.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead guests through a live, in-character New Year’s Eve countdown scene, hitting every celebration beat on each performance cycle.
• Read each incoming group and adjust timing and delivery so the moment lands for kids, tourists, and skeptical adults alike.
• Maintain crowd energy through counting down, confetti throws, and live celebration in a high-noise, high-stimulation environment.
• Handle guest-facing hosting duties between and during shows, including answering questions, managing crowd flow, and taking photos.
• Reset props and the performance space between each show to maintain consistent production quality across the day.
• Sustain vocal and physical performance across a six-hour shift on a two-to-three day per week schedule.

What You Bring

• Verified live performance experience in theater, improv, theme park entertainment, immersive experience, or scare acting.
• Demonstrated ability to deliver repeating live shows with full energy, not just opening night energy.
• Strong guest-facing instincts, comfortable functioning as both a performer and a front-of-house host simultaneously.
• Physical and vocal stamina suited to high-energy, high-repetition live performance work.
• Comfort working in loud, crowded spaces with confetti, close audiences, and variable crowd sizes.

Why This Role

This is a steady part-time performance contract inside a new Times Square attraction, offering consistent weekly shifts for performers who want reliable live audience work outside of traditional theater or episodic television schedules. Ikon Search places talent with established organizations, and this venue is building its core performance team from the ground up, meaning early hires shape how the show runs. For performers who thrive on live audience energy and want a dependable booking, this is a real gig.
