We are casting actors to play the various parts of the play that will feature J.K. Franko himself who will be performing the part of the judge.
This play will be in Spanish and will follow the highly successful English production performed live in London in Spring 2019.
The play will be Produced and Directed by Tony Marturano (who also headed the London production) for a number of distinguished VIPs from the publishing and other industries.

These details are still being decided. It is highly likely the event will be filmed live and used for promotional purposes. You will be required to sign a release accordingly. The original series was recorded live and viewers were encouraged to watch the series and then deliver their own verdict based purely on the evidence provided.
The same will take place at this event. On the night we will randomly select guests to become the jury. They will sit as jury members and it will be your job to convince them that your case is sound.
Do YOU think you can deliver a performance to convince them to deliver the verdict in your favour?
If your answer is yes then great, BUT FIRST…
your performance will need to convince the show’s producer/director at your audition.
Good luck! / Buena Suerte!
