Tibsen Entertainment Productions along with 47th Street Studios is searching to cast for a talk show based onthe lives of Transgender individuals. This show will look into the personal lives of women that are not seen as typical among society standards, giving the audience an inside look into their lives. The goal is to dispel and eventually change the ideas that people have concerning transgender women and men.

This show will consist of for panel hostesses with a moderator and will be filmed in front of a live studio audience. Think of ABC 7 [The View] CBS 2 [The Talk] and Fox [The Real]. This is not a make-over or competition and/or a show to make a mockery of individuals lives. We want to open the doors for conversations and answer questions that some people may be feeling themselves. For instance, how do you feel when people stand in judgment of your life choices or you becoming the person that you knew you were?

The cast will be encouraged to discuss freely the various things that have occurred in their lives. Expressions of the feelings of love, hate, rejection, disgust, joy, frustration, fear or purpose will be encouraged. The team of producers looks forward to meeting applicants at the casting call/interview.

Address: 436 N. Clark Street/Chicago, IL 60654

When: Saturday April 18, 2015

Time: 1:00pm-430pm ( There is not a set appointment time )
