Haunted Halls of Horror needs actors for Halloween weekend

For Halloween weekend Oct. 29 to 31, the Haunted Halls of Horror presented by Hugs Not Drugs has partnered with the city of Delray Beach for the first time to host a haunted house at the Community Center at 50 NW First Ave. Hugs Not Drugs spokeswoman Marla Gideos said she’s looking for actors and actresses age 8 and older to participate in auditions at the Community Center at 7 p.m. Sept. 29.

“We know that the Delray Beach is community oriented. We want people from Delray and we have a few parts left open. What we really need right now is men. We’re looking for men to play three big roles, and two are non-speaking,” Gideos said.

She also said City Commissioner Gary Eliopoulos and Parks and Recreation Director Linda Karch were instrumental in bringing the Haunted Halls of Horror to Delray Beach.

“I really didn't do much, except for making some calls but I did think this was a great opportunity for the city to support something for the kids with limited associated costs. Things right now are extremely difficult with this economy and typically it's the kids that suffer by programs being canceled or reduced. This appeared to be one way of giving back to the ones that need it the most,” Eliopoulos said.

For more information call Marla Gideos at 561- 585-7771 or e-mail her at mdgsing@aol.com. Visit www.hauntedhallsofhorror.com for information.
