What are they looking for?

The following roles are being cast, and you should be a fresh face to the show:

• 1980s nerdy males and females – Caucasian, ages 18 and up. You must be OK with the hair department altering/trimming/cutting your hair. Men's hair must be at least 3" long all around and should all be the same length with no fades or edges. Women should have shoulder-length or shorter hair with a natural color.
• 1980s military males and females – Caucasian, age 25-45. You must be OK with a hair change at fitting. You should be between 5'2"-6'1" and have an average to muscular build. Men's hair must be at least 2" long or longer all around, with no fades or sharp edges. Casting would rather your hair be too long rather than too short, since it can be cut in the way that's needed. Women should have hair that's a natural color.
