Free Casting Calls and Auditions

Open casting call for non-union serial short comedy series set in NYC. Four friends from college, find themselves all reunited in the same city with very different jobs but one thing in common – they’re all trying to figure “it” out. Auditioning for:

PRINCIPLES:

1. MARK (Early 20’s) – Mark is an Office Intern with a rare and genuine work ethic. Modest and unaware of his own handsomeness, he is first the of his family to graduate from college. He believes in working hard for hard work’s sake. He wears polo shirts tucked into khakis in a way that feels forced and uncomfortable; much like a child dressing up for a formal event. Well-intentioned but slightly naïve, Mark is on a quest to find his place in the professional landscape.

2. NATALIE (Early 20’s) – Natalie is the youngest member of the middle management sector of her employer. Buoyant, playful, and flirty, she is never on task. No one around her seems to notice, distracted by her enchanting and spirit-raising personality. She dresses up her business attire with brightly colored hi-tops and an on-trend eyeglass collection. Dancing with an alcohol dependency and reluctant to engage in any serious discussion, she struggles with a need to eventually achieve the maturity necessary in her professional environment.

3. WALT (Late 20’s) – Walt is overeducated and underemployed. After spending an extra 3 years studying Philosophy, Walt is hyper-aware of all the Marxist power structures in the workplace, which stifles his professional development significantly. Walt is often adorned in Punk Rock band t-shirts underneath tweed or corduroy blazers. Walt dismisses many of the demands of the working world as unsophisticated and has poverty thrust upon him as a result.

4. MADELINE (Mid 20’s) – Madeline is a petite space cadet. A recent graduate of a leading Graphic Design program, she takes on a variety of freelance jobs with varying degrees of legitimacy. Soft spoken yet intensely thoughtful, Madeline lives comfortably in her own head as the increasingly real pressures of the working world bear down upon her. She hides under a well-worn parka, sunglasses and headphones. Madeline possesses a magnetism obvious to her close circle of friends but is largely strange and alienating to those unfamiliar with her flighty quirks.

Comedians and experienced actors preferred. All ethnicities and looks welcome. This is a non-union show, with the pilot being shot before the end of April. Part of a package set for national distribution.
