TRIAL PRACTICE ACTING GIG FALL 2025!

Use your acting and improvisational skills, have fun, help students and get paid at the same time!

RIVERWALK THEATRE and the MSU College of Law are looking for actors who are interested in playing the plaintiff, the defendant, and the witnesses in mock civil trials for the MSU College of Law Trial Practice Institute.  

This semester’s case, BOFUS v DUFRAME, is a wrongful death case arising from the death of Lindsey Marie Bofus who died tragically when she ran into the street in a panic upon being accosted by a young man who allegedly harassed, intimidated and bullied her at a summer camp they both were attending. 

There are 4 trials, all using the same case study over 2 days. We are looking for a total of 12 actors --2 actors to play the plaintiff, 2 actors to play the defendant and 8 other actors to play the other witnesses. Each witness will appear in 2 trials, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. 

A $250 stipend will be paid for participation in this project.

Details about the roles and dates can be found on the Riverwalk Theatre website - https://www.riverwalktheatre.com/mock-trial
