Auditions to Fill Busy Schedule
The Stilt Guys (Mark Lefebvre and Kyle Sipkens) announce they're holding auditions to expand their roster of performers to keep up with a demanding festival season.
"Last year we had to turn down a few bookings on the same weekends because they were just too far apart to drive to without exhausting ourselves." says Lefebvre "We are at the point now where we can hire and train a few more talented people, accept the offers coming in and develop even more work."
They are still awaiting word on when their segment on the popular CBC television series "Dragons Den" will air in the fall. The product they pitched to the five investors? "More Stilt Guys!" is the long and tall answer from Sipkens, "In our ninth season together we are entertaining crowds at major festivals and animating experiential marketing campaigns, national conferences and product launches. Working with clients like Molson Coors and Southwest Ontario Tourism has given us a
tremendous opportunity to think big and grow our business. the timing is right to expand."
"What we said to the dragons" explains Lefebvre "is that we'd rather teach stiltwalking to performers with similar backgrounds to ours than hire busker-types who although talented may not be able to talk to people let alone sing and dance, improvise or deliver a corporate message."

Both are graduates of the University of Windsor's acclaimed School of Dramatic Art and bring all of their classical acting training to bear doing street theatre and on the trade show floor.
"Audience interaction is key and our clients can see all ages and demographics responding to our larger than life charm," says Lefebvre. "And the media loves us! We make a big and lasting impression, that's for sure."
