Description:

We run evenings in people's homes in Toronto. In December we are running one built around an elf, and we need someone to play him. He has been doing this since 1824 and would rather be anywhere else. Guests make cocktails and build gingerbread houses, and he judges every single one at the end. He has standards. He is not impressed. He says so. This role lives and dies on the performer. We need someone properly funny, sharp, and quick enough to make fun of a room full of people without it ever tipping into mean. Sassy, withering, unimpressed, warm underneath. The guests should be laughing at themselves because of how you look at them. There is a structure but no script. It runs on improvising around whatever a room of drinking adults does, so bring your own material. The character is written short, so we are looking for a performer under roughly 5'6". Two and a half hours, evenings and weekends through December, around Toronto and the GTA. Costume provided.

The ElfMale25-70 y.o.White / Caucasian

Two hundred years into the job and completely over it. Withering, quick, and very funny. He makes fun of the room and they laugh at themselves because of how he looks at them. Exasperated rather than nasty, warm underneath it. On his feet for two and a half hours with no script, working a room of twelve people who have been drinking. Written short. Under roughly 5'6".
