Toronto, ON, Canada
ID: 293480Exp: 10/5/2025
Description:

The company is holding auditions for "On the air" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Are you listening? CJLN ‘The Loon’ is the fourth most popular local radio station in south-south-east-Northlamburton county – but no one is listening. With an insubordinate intern, egotistical DJs, and the local arts council, station manager, Alice, has her hands full… and then Matt arrives. Matt is a marketing wiz and has a lot of ideas to revitalize the station. When he gets carried away in his efforts, it’s up to his friends, and fellow ‘Loon’ employees, to remind him of who he is and what makes the station charming and quirky. On The Air is a comedy about family, ambition, rock and roll, and dreams pursued in the unlikeliest of places. NOTE: Kiss between Matt & Alice on Page 90.
