\"Globe_SW_audition\"Working for a company named Other World Computing, you just know that we at the OWC Blog are big fans of the stars, both Trek<\/a> and Wars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why you\u2019ll have to forgive some of us for being just a tad giddy about the prospect of appearing in the new Star Wars film directed by J.J. Abrams and set for a 2015 release. A request for auditions to fill the roll of a \u201cyoung woman to play 17-18 years old\u201d and a \u201cyoung man to play 19-23 years old\u201d was posted online recently, and there are more than a few of us at OWC that might like to show off our acting chops<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in auditioning, you\u2019ll need to submit your application by Dec. 3. You can check out opencastingcall2013.com<\/a> for more details and maybe even some clues to plotlines in the new movie. (The male character description says he \u201chas grown up without a father’s influence.\u201d Sounds like Luke is a little too busy rebuilding the Jedi\u2026).<\/p>\n

So, break a leg! Unless you see someone there in an OWC polo shirt, that is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
