The Albany Public Library is looking for interested individuals to help bring Bleecker the Owl to life. During special programs and events, Bleecker makes an appearance. However, Bleecker needs a talented actor to bring them to life! This volunteer would wear the Bleecker mascot suit and attend special programs like Growing Readers events, certain story times, and more. These events may be outside or inside the Library, though there will always be support to help keep the actor cool, calm, and collected.
Qualifications:
- the mascot suit fits a performer between the heights of 5'6" and 5'10"
- expressive and social, has some background in theatre or performance
- physically able to wear a mascot suit for about 30 minutes to an hour at a time
Safety Note: Bleecker's mascot suit does come with cooling vests, which can be worn if the performer needs additional heating regulation. There will also be a staff member present to keep an eye on Bleecker's actor so they remain safe while performing.
If you or someone you know is interested in embodying Bleecker, please respond to this volunteer opportunity and a library staff member will contact you about next steps.
