Visit Philly seeking extras for Pope promo Wednesday

The organization is especially in need of males of any age

Philadelphia’s tourism marketing agency, Visit Philadelphia, is looking for several extras to appear in a papal visit promotional video being taped Wednesday.

The call is open to everyone, though, there is a dire need for males of all ages, a Visit Philly spokesperson told NewsWorks.

Free pizza will be provided to extras, and individuals who are cast in the production will be awarded a small stipend.

Anyone interested is asked to appear at the Marriott Hotel at The Navy Yard at 10:45 a.m. tomorrow, Sept. 2 and expect to be on location until 2 p.m., with pizza provided from noon to 1 p.m.

The required dress code is business casual, meaning no “super high heels, sneakers, sweatshirts, baggy clothing, ripped jeans, or shirts with logos or sayings on them,” the press release states.

Extras are also being asked to bring a piece of luggage to use as a prop, “as if you were actually staying over at a hotel for the weekend.”
