Performing in Duffy schools with audience sizes ranging from 10 to 400 is a great way to see the country while getting paid to perform.<\/p>\n<p>The cast performs The Duffy Show twice a day, five days a week, making this a great way to develop your craft and gain confidence as an actor. Actors are paid a wage as employees (incl. Student loans and Kiwisaver) with the addition of per diems when away from Auckland. Accommodation outside of Auckland is covered and teams are provided with a touring vehicle and trailer while fuel and any other tour-related travel costs (e.g. ferries) are also covered.<\/p>\n<p><i>Jeff Szusterman<\/i> will once again direct the show, and <i>Leki Jackson-Bourke<\/i> is our writer. One week of rehearsals will take place in Auckland from Monday 8 December 2025 and pick up again on Monday 12 January 2026 with the tour kicking off in early February. The tour will conclude in mid-November, 2025 (exact date TBC).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are we looking for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Actors who are looking for nearly 11 months of full-time employment.<\/li>\n<li>Actors willing to perform generously with a youthful and diverse audience.<\/li>\n<li>Actors with full driver\u2019s license. (Non-essential but will help your chances).<\/li>\n<li>Actors that have the stamina to work every day for an extended period.<\/li>\n<li>Actors wanting to explore all corners of Aotearoa.<\/li>\n<li>Actors who work well in a small team.<\/li>\n<li>Actors with a passion for books and literacy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please note: This is an Auckland-based opportunity. Duffy Books in Homes cannot assist with accommodation etc. for those not Auckland based.<\/p>\n<p><em>Actors will need to complete a police check to comply with the Vulnerable Children\u2019s Act.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/duffy2026\">https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/duffy2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are on the lookout for actors to join our tour of Primary Schools in 2026.
