AUDITION INSTRUCTIONS AND FULL CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:

[KYLE WAGNER]

16-20 years old

A part-time employee of One More Time, Kyle is a bright-eyed, naïve teenager. He’s affable, nervous, and eager to please. In fact, his desperation to prove himself often pushes him to act before fully thinking things through, which tends to get him into sticky situations. He’s a hard worker, but also gullible and susceptible to pranks from older employees (namely Dru). Kyle is also at a particularly hormonal phase of his life and will find himself navigating (for better or for worse) some dicey teenage waters. SERIES LEAD

THIS ROLE WILL BE UNDER A 3 YEAR OPTION (SEEKING TALENT ACROSS CANADA OR THE STATES BUT THEY MUST BE A CANADIAN CITIZEN)

Storyline: This half-hour, single cam comedy follows Donald Jameson (DJ)as he uses his unique leadership style to make One More Time Sports in Korverton, Ontario a community destination and profitable enterprise in the modern age of online shopping and big box stores. DJ’s business acumen isn’t the keenest, but his perseverance and desire to make everyone feel special in every interaction makes him beloved by his employees and customers alike. He also wears hearing aids, which can lead to unique situations, including confusing interactions with customers, employees easily whispering secrets to each other in his presence, and DJ not hearing fire alarms while everyone is evacuating the store… to name just a few. But these setbacks do not bother DJ. His emphasis on positivity and community sets the tone for the whole store, as he and his team band together to solve the day-to-day challenges of running a small business with ingenuity and an underdog mentality. Brooklyn 99 meets Ted Lasso in One More Time, a show that proves a semi-qualified, hearing-impaired manager can lead a used sporting goods store to the promised land.
