The story centers on a group of teenagers
and their families. Many supporting parts are still available as well as
recurring roles.
Important
Information:
“Proper Manors” is intended to be a 22-min.
Weekly web soap opera.
Many of
the lead characters will be “on contract” meaning that, if cast, we must know
what is going on with you. The project (in essence a TV series for the web) will
be shooting weekly – mostly on weekends but there may be
exceptions.
Every character has been developed to be a part of
the tapestry in the town of Proper, USA. Even the smallest roles can develop
into front burner story lines and lead characters can be written out any time.
The show is intended for a mature audience and would probably be categorized as
TV-M (Mature Audiences).
There is NO nudity nor will we be using the F-bomb,
however there will be other profanity occasionally and adult situations. The
characters on the soap, much like the real world, are diverse – all ethnicities,
religions, sexual orientations and political persuasions. We will not modify
characters based on actor's moral or religious input as the characters
themselves “live” in a different world and everything, loosely based on reality,
is fictional. Of course, the characters will be evolving/developing and changing
based on what they experience as a character living in Proper. Any familiarity
of any person living or dead is purely coincidental.
Additional Characters:

is a great mom. He is having a mid-life crisis.
ROSA MCQUEEN – Female, late
50’s, African American. Retired grade school principal turned politician and is
a close ally with Bruce Cooper, District Attorney. She became involved politics
because she doesn’t like the direction Proper is heading. She loves the youth of
Proper and enjoys being an educated woman and strives to instill in the youth of
Proper that same love. She is a mentor to everyone, always kind, honest and
direct but she gets a kick out of seeing or hearing someone call someone else
out on their issues. She is best friends with the life-long city employee who is
