Casting Call for Boys and Girls for "Not For Sale" Stage Play
Casting boys and girls for the stage play "Not for Sale" – see details below! ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: When the Los Angeles Diaz family loses their ten-year-old daughter to an abduction, the family copes in the best way they know how, but sadly, the family falls apart. Five years later, the resilient older brother, Julian, working at Loveya Latte Coffee Shop, meets mentors and friends, including Cassidy, a troubled but talented teen. Julian and Cassidy fall in love. When Cassidy is forced by her oppressively controlling father (a powerful record company executive) to move to Nashville for the career he has planned for her, the couple writes a love song together and promise to stay in touch. Cassidy, now “Cash,” becomes a famous pop star and breaks that promise to spare Julian the wrath of her controlling father. She and Julian lose touch. Five years later, although Julian took a harsh path to cope with losing Cash, kind mentors help him heal and he becomes a paramedic and a regular volunteer for an organization, UNBOUND AS ONE, whose mission is to rescue exploited young people and help them recover. Cash, caring deeply about Julian’s family story, also has the same heart to help these young people. In a bold move, she makes a break-away from her contract with her father, announcing that she is heading to Australia to do a benefit concert for UNBOUND. Julian and Cash are unaware of each other’s plans for Australia. When the star-crossed couple crosses paths at UNBOUND, sparks fly and misunderstandings abound as several other plot twists and surprises unfold. When Victor and Anna, UNBOUND’s dedicated leaders, exemplify and share the love that can overcome heartache, injury, and even the worst of tragedies, conflicts begin to be resolved and the hope and dreams of better days ahead shine brightly in the end.
