BRIGHT. YOUNG. THINGS. by Georgia Christou

On a reality television show, six remarkable—and remarkably young–geniuses are competing for the coveted national “Golden Brain” trophy. As they battle it out round after round, the pressure mounts, the spotlight gets harsher, and each contestant is faced with questions they were never expecting. Who will win and who will lose—and what exactly does winning mean anyway?

Everyone who registers will receive a role that highlights their unique talents. Nontraditional auditions and casting happens the first week of programming. This program is centered around developing acting skills. First and foremost, we plan to have fun!
