Please bring your own puppet and a prepared one minute routine and be prepared to improvise. Part time and full time positions available - $11.25 per hour. For more information, please visit www.buschgardenstalent.com. Contact Nancy at (813) 987-5302 to audition.

Apparently, they are doing auditions in Georgia, Utah and Florida.

$11.25 per hour? Seems kinda cheap...or do puppeteering jobs just not pay that well?

There's quite a range in pay depending on your experience, where you work and who you work for. This is pretty typical for theme park work (you might make more if you had a show of your own you brought in to the park). I think the puppeteers at the Disney parks might make slightly less than this, but I'm not sure.
