ABC Casting Back in the Game

ABC network has picked up a new show for the fall of 2013, Back in the Game stars Maggir Lawson who plays  a recently divorced, single mother, who temporarily moves in with her estranged father, a beer swilling former baseball player. She reluctantly starts coaching her son’s underdog little league team and is drawn back into the world of sports she vowed to leave behind. The pilot for Back in the Game was written by Mark and Robb Cullen (“Lucky,” “Las Vegas”), who also executive produce along with directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra (“Bad Santa,” “Crazy, Stupid, Love”) and Aaron Kaplan (“The Neighbors”). There have been several baseball-themed movies recently produced, but this will be the first television show that will be based from Americas favorite pastime. Back in the game is set to premier this fall and the casting directors are now taking applications for male and female actors of all ages for several feature and extra roles. Do not miss out your chance to audition for the ABC network apply now. Terry Gannon Jr. (Maggie Lawson) was an All Star softball player until life threw her a couple curve balls: a baby, a lost college scholarship and a loser for a husband. After leaving her own, Terry and her son Danny (Griffin Gluck) move in with her estranged father, Terry Sr. aka “The Cannon” (James Caan). The Cannon is a beer-guzzling, ex-athlete who never quite made the cut as a single father or professional baseball player.

As hard as Terry tries to keep Danny away from the sports-driven lifestyle of her youth, Tommy wants to play Little League. His stunning lack of baseball skills (he doesn’t even know which hand the mitt goes on) makes him the laughing stock of the baseball field and his grandfather’s living room.

When Danny and a group of other athletically-challenged hopefuls fail to make the team, Danny’s disappointment forces Terry to face her past. So when a wealthy neighbor volunteers to finance a team for the rejected kids, Terry reluctantly offers to coach the team of misfits.

Back in the Game will air on ABC on Wednesday nights at 8:30 p.m. starting in the fall of 2013. The casting directors at ABC are now taking actor applications for several extra and feature roles for the hit comedy series. ABC auditions are a very good way to gain exposure and possibly work for one of Americas most famous TV networks.

Please keep checking back often for more information on casting dates, times and locations and as always leave us a comment and let us know what you think about the new TV show idea for ABC.

    Hello. My name is Faith Richards. I am an American citizen, although I have previously lived in Nottingham, England for 5 years, which means I can put on a British accent and a strong American accent if it was required. By American standards I have actually already graduated High School at a younger age, therefor missing school would not harm my education in any way, shape or form. I enjoy acting, singing and modelling. Although, my main passion is for acting. I used to attend a weekly drama school called The Television Workshops which helped me improve my confidence and experience in front of cameras and live audiences. I would love to gain more experience in the acting industry. I am 16 years old in 2 weeks, 5’7, long dark blonde hair, blue eyes, 120lb/slim figure. Although I am located in Kansas, I am willing to relocate during filming. I would be honored to participate in this upcoming production. I really hope you take my application into consideration. I am so grateful for the time you took in reading this. If you would like more information, visit my Explore Talent profile or call/email me! Thanks.

  37. Hi,
    My name is Linda Vidmar. I am currently interested in how to audition for a feature or extra role for the new fall show Back in the Game. I am currently the Vice- President of our Little League in Chicago. I am a former Chicago Police officer that has a full time job volunteering in our community creating a safe haven for our youth at our ballpark. As a former softball player I have found myself Back in the Game myself. Having 3 Children in the league that love baseball & softball can be infectious. I think this show is going to be a Grand Slam!
