PROJECT: Nauvoo Performing Missionaries - 2025
RE: Calling all singers, dancers, band musicians, and production technicians!
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 15, 2024
Please feel free to share this information with anyone who may be interested, even if you don't fit the demographic in this breakdown. Thank you!
PROJECT: Each year, single Latter-day Saints ages 18 to 25 are called and set apart to serve as performing missionaries. These missionaries serve at Historic Nauvoo and Carthage Jail for 14 weeks between May and October. The program features three groups: band members, actors, and production technicians.
SEEKING: Single members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ages 18 to 25 from the U.S. and Canada are invited to audition to serve as performing missionaries—singers, dancers, band musicians, and production technicians—helping with musical and stage productions in Historic Nauvoo. Only a limited number of missionaries can be called. Talent, training, and experience are very important. Other significant qualifications include physical health and character traits such as spiritual maturity, willingness to obey mission rules, and enthusiasm for serving.
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: As with any mission assignment, performers are required to be temple-worthy. They commit to live by missionary standards and follow a rigorous schedule of preparation, rehearsal, and performances.
DATES: The 2025 season will include opportunities for performers to serve in Nauvoo in one of three casts:
Spring cast (does not include dancing in the pageants or Brass Band) March 14-June 24
Summer cast (includes dancing in pageants and Nauvoo Brass Band) May 2 – August 12
Fall Cast (includes dancing in pageants) June 24 – October 14
LOCATION: Nauvoo, IL
CALLBACKS: All applicants will receive notification about callbacks by mid-November. Callbacks are by invitation only and will take place in Orem, Utah in January. It is most advantageous to attend callbacks in person. For those living more than 3 hours away from Orem your callback can be held virtually.
Notification will be sent to callback candidates about their acceptance status by late January 2025. At that time, accepted candidates will receive instructions on how to complete a senior service missionary application. They will then be issued a call by their stake president. They will be set apart before leaving for Nauvoo.
PROJECT: Love, Share, Invite (LSI)
DEADLINE to APPLY: Please submit your application by end-of-day Monday, August 12, 2024. Short introductory video required.
