Since the auditions are available online, teen actors may upload their casting videos from any location, however the open casting call will be held in New York City.

CONRAD
14-16 to play 15, Caucasian. The son of Isabelle and Gene, younger brother of Jonah. Nerdy, insecure, pubescent and pensive. Has a mysterious quality about him, lonely and without friends. His exterior and interior don’t necessarily match: awkward, combative and aloof, it is reasonable to suppose he could be a dangerous kid, but in fact he is genuine, surprisingly empathetic, an idealist – and even a romantic. LEAD

MELANIE
Female, 14-16 to play 15, open ethnicity. A beautiful, popular girl from Conrads class. Completely out of Conrad’s league. Not the best student – often mispronouncing words and emphasizing the wrong parts of sentences. However, like Conrad, Melanie’s exterior and interior don’t necessarily match – we find she has a depth of feeling and understanding that we might not have first supposed. SUPPORTING

Teens must be 14 to 16 years old and will be playing 15 year olds. If interested in the roles, please see below for the link to the casting directors page for further submission instructions.
