We’re taken on the journey from ‘pitchy’ auditions through the ups and downs of this enormous cast and crew getting to know each other and bring the age-old play to life. The auditions deliver the public voyeurism matched only by American Idol, matched by a season’s worth of bonding and angst that couldn’t be written. The realism of Oz‘s awkward teenage drama gives you the feeling you just might stick it out and see just how this scrappy group can pull off this massive musical production. As WB.com head Brent Poer tells us, ” “It’s American Teen meets the drama club.”
Producers chose Barnstable High
School after a nationwide search, settling on the school known for mega-productions featuring hundreds of cast members, professional-grade effects and knockout sets. Seriously, there are over 300 cast members, or “over one-sixth of the students at BHS,” says Barnstable High School Drama Club adviser John Sullivan, “ and that doesn’t count all the costume makers, backstage crew and musicians!”Produced by Madison Avenue-based Bombo Sports & Entertainment in association with Warner Brothers’ digital production venture Studio 2.0, the series will run for 13-weeks, with new episodes out every Monday through November 17th.
