Quiet Giant (a local, independent creative studio) is hiring a character performer for A Very Grumpy Christmas, a three-day holiday photo experience on Bainbridge Island.
Were looking for someone who can bring a mischievous, grumpy holiday personality to life through expressive movements, playful interactions, and a little improv. Think dramatic side-eyes, reluctantly posing for photos, and making kids laugh while pretending youre having a terrible time.
We provide the costume, photographer, and event support. You bring the personality.
