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.

STILL SEEKING:

RHETT BODELL – Male, mid 40's, Caucasian, country boy with college degree, heavily involved in agriculture, married to April Bodell, 2 daughters (Erin & Amelia) matter of fact attitude, mysterious but not creepy, bored in marriage but loyal to his wife because she 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 now the city manager and they run around like Thelma and Louise.
