A faint trickle of new information has come out about that scintillating OPEN CASTING CALL announced recently by Fox.

The executive producers of Glee will begin a nationwide casting search this February to fill three new roles that will be added to the show’s second season. Auditions will be open to professional and amateur individuals between the ages of 16-26. All hopefuls will be able to submit auditions online. Additional details to be announced soon.
