The TV show casting call is searching for models and actors to play high school students. Casting directors are looking for men and women who are at least 18 years old. Because actors will be playing students, you must look younger. Exact shoot dates are unknown, however, it will begin filming in early September. It will take place in New York City, New York. This is a spectacular opportunity to gain experience on the set of a national television series. The show is inspired by a true story.

According to NBC, From Jason Katims, writer and executive producer of “Friday Night Lights” and “Parenthood,” and Jeffrey Seller, producer of the explosive Broadway hit “Hamilton,” comes a heartening new drama about finding inspiration in unexpected places. When dedicated teacher and family man Lou Mazzuchelli (Josh Radnor, “How I Met Your Mother”) sheds his own self-doubt and takes over the school’s lackluster theater department, he galvanizes not only the faculty and students, but the entire working-class town.

It is a plus if any applicants have real football or cheerleading experience but it is not mandatory. If this sounds like a project you would like to be a part of, sign up for the 2017 extras casting call right away.
