Dragon's Lair Old Time Photo and Jester Portraits
204 and 164
Can you have FUN with a SMILE on your face? Do you love the idea of helping families step back in time and create a lifelong memory all while getting PAID? Do you want to enjoy the benefits of working in the fun field of family entertainment with an established, family-owned company????!!!!
Ashley Nostalgia, an Old Time Photo and Costume Company, is looking for outgoing, energetic, theatrically -minded individuals for immediate openings at our two Texas Renaissance Festival locations, Jester Portraits and Dragon's Lair Olde Tyme Photos, for the entirety of this year's festival run (weekends only in October and November, plus Black Friday!)
Those with positive attitudes who are eager to learn and enjoy people will excel; photography experience is NOT necessary. For both studios, you must be available for all the Saturdays and Sundays during the festival, and we are open from just before cannon (about 9) until after close (around 8:30). There is some flexibility in the times we can assign you, though. We offer a bonus of $0.50/hour for all hours you worked for the season, paid at the end of the festival, if you work all scheduled days.
At Jester Portraits, which is at the front gate, we dress employees as court jesters (costume provided) and issue them a camera and a stack of cards. There, you take photos of all guests as they enter the park, hand them a card that they use to view and purchase the photos with, and help steer them to the booth as they're leaving to see and purchase their photos. Jesters start at $13/hour and get a commission as well for each photo sold, as well as a share of all tips taken for the day. This often puts the total pay for Jesters near $20/hour. For those with some computer savvy and customer service experience, we are also hiring for managerial positions at the front gate, which pays a higher hourly rate, negotiable with your experience.
At Ye Olde Tyme Photos, we dress guests in our own period costumes and take their photos on various sets (pirate ship, throne room, dragon, etc). Employees usually work in one section, either helping costume the guests, taking the photos, and proofing/printing/selling the photos. Olde Tyme employees also start at $13/hour, but receive a share of all tips. Routinely, this makes your gross pay more in the range of$17-20 per hour. There is room for advancement.
Many of our employees return year after year, so it's a great environment to work in, and we do our best to take good care of our people during the faire! Please email joshua@nostalgiasite.com to apply, and we will respond same day to set you up an interview!
