PASTORALIA by George Saunders

Classified Ad

Immediate opening for a dedicated actor. Successful candidates will exhibit enthusiasm for the stone age, be able to work in a confined area, live on site, and follow our strict code of conduct.

Areas of responsibility include but are not limited to: creative use of time period appropriate make-up and costumes, cooking and consuming one deer each day over an open pit, reporting on the mental state and overall effectiveness of your partner, swatting at imaginary flies, and the creation of charcoal cave paintings.

Benefits include a modest wage, trips out of the cave to the Snack Shack, room & board, and the satisfaction that comes with knowing that you helped some snotty little kid better understand what it meant to live in a cave.

Please send a creative resume and cover letter to Pastoralia along with three professional references and any other supporting documents that you wish to be considered.
