We have used an actor from the North Central College Theater department-located in Naperville as a pirate for one of our business ventures. He was awesome, and we were also going to use a female to play a princess-but one of the other business owners had found someone in her company to play the princess. She was okay but not an actress by any stretch. The guy stole the show because is he very, very talented.
There are extremely talented young adults in the theater department at this college!!
The guy that we used (whom I know personally from our church) had several suggestions for us for females from the drama department to play our princess.
You can contact the drama department and they can help you. I would suggest the Musical Theater department, since the students are multi talented in acting, singing and dancing. Plus as college kids- they can always use extra cash!!
Hope this helps!
