• Casting Interest Form!

  • Beltane Fantasy Cosplay Ball

    The Beltane Fantasy Cosplay Ball is seeking some additional participants to fill small roles at the event! All representatives must be attending the ball. All are welcome to apply, but people who have already purchased tickets will be given preference. All representatives must be able to arrive by 6:50 sharp for a brief rehearsal/explanation of tasks. All roles will be expected to study provided materials in advance. (This will be minimal.) Participants in the SCC Cosplay Contest may be allowed to arrive later.

  • EVENT MC Requirements

    We're looking for ONE outgoing cosplayer/guest to act as MC.
    Duties include:
    • Occasionally (on a set schedule) checking in on guests, making event announcements, and introducing entertainers.
    • Must be comfortable speaking clearly, energetically, and articulately in front of crowds, and using a microphone.
    • Must be good at keeping time and following a schedule.


    This commitment will still allow plenty of time to enjoy the ball independently! You will be able to sit with your own friends, and participate in all activities.

  • REPRESENTATIVES OF THE "FIVE REALMS" during Welcome/Gathering and Farewell Ceremonies. Job Requirements:

    We're looking for FIVE cosplayers interested in engaging in formal Welcome and Farewell Ceremonies at the Beltane Fantasy Cosplay Ball.
    • Must be comfortable LOUDLY and articulately speaking approximately two lines of memorized text in front of other guests (without a microphone).
    • Must be comfortable carrying a lighted prop to the center of the dance floor.
    • Must plan to stay for the full length of the event, as the Farewell Ceremony will take place at 10:45.
    • Applicants may be asked to “audition” by recording and submitting a line of spoken text prior to being selected.

    Participation in these ceremonies will take less than 10 minutes total, and will not prevent you from enjoying any other element of our ball. You will still be able to sit with friends of your choosing, enjoy other entertainers, etc.

    All styles and genres of cosplay are welcome to apply. We will be assigning one representative to each of our "five realms." Because we may not be familiar with every character from every fandom, please specify below which realm or realms fits your character best. 

    This year, representatives may also be asked to assist with our new Side Quest! This will be a simple interaction involving sharing a 'fact' with guests who seek you out. 

  • REPRESENTATIVES OF THE "FIVE REALMS" for the FAIRY QUEEN SIDE QUEST Requirements

    It's Beltane. The Welcome Ceremony begins. The Royal Scribe brings out the scroll to return light to the world, but, OH NO! Ink has been spilled over it, and the "words that must be spoken" including the Queen's "True Name of Power" have been destroyed!

    Quest One: To follow the scavenger hunt to find and recreate the missing parts of this document and restore the Queen's true name. (Clues will be hidden around the rooms. Actors will have hints to help guests find them.)

    Quest Two: To find the person or entity that has caused the damage and where it happened! (more interactive/narrative) Actors will have facts that they disseminate to participants, which can be used to solve a Logic Elimination Puzzle.

    By the end of the evening, the scroll will be restored and the "True Name" returned, and the closing ceremony will resolve all. 


    • Contact persons will be approached throughout the evening by participating guests
    • Actors will need to dissemniate certain provided facts or observations that will allow participants to confirm or eliminate probable 'doers.' Actors will be allowed to determine how they reveal this information. (This will be similar to a murder mystery dinner game.)
    • Must be comfortable talking to strangers!
    • Staying completely "in-character" is not required.
    • We will be creating the clues based on the characters being represented, so all are welcome to apply. Preferred characters for these roles will be villains, tricksters, ne'er-do-wells, thieves, sorcerers, and other “powerful and cunning” characters, but this isn't mandatory.

    Side quests are ongoing throughout the evening, beginning with the Welcome Ceremony (7:30) and ending just before the Farewell Ceremony (10:40), however individual interactions should be short, allowing participants to enjoy all aspects of the ball.
