OPEN MODEL AND TALENT CALL FOR AGES 16-50 AT MARK CUBAN HEROES BASKETBALL CENTER
For the fifth year, the Center will host auditions for models, actors, singers and dancers ages 16-50; registration is free and will be held from 10:30-11 a.m. with auditions from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
Most people assume the Mark Cuban Heroes Basketball Center might focus on sports, but its mission is to help young people find success in a variety of ways. This Saturday (Jan. 28), the Center will host an Open Model and Talent Call for models, actors, singers and dancers ages 16-50. Free and open to the public, registration is from 10:30-11 a.m. with live auditions from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
This program began in 2018 and has helped launch the modeling and entertainment careers of numerous North Texans. For example, 22-year-old Osayande Foster, a successful model with Kim Dawson and several other national agencies, is currently shooting a Nike ad. A Kim Dawson model is making thousands of dollars per shoot and another model is working with singer Gwen Stefani.
The call is hosted by Dallas-based Willie Johnson of J3 Productions, a fashion show production and modeling management company whose mission is “to find the diamond in the rough and make him or her shine.”
The chosen individuals will spend six weeks working with Johnson and will receive professional head shots and other support. J3 Production will serve as the mother agency, and Johnson introduces the individuals to other regional and national agencies.
REQUIREMENTS: Female models should be 5’7”-6’, and male models should be 5’11”-6’3”. Singers and dancers should bring music on a flash drive. Singers may be asked to sing for 30 seconds, and dancers may be asked to perform a 45-second routine. Actors may be asked to do a cold read.

The Path
As we walk through life's journey, we leave footprints. Some just show where we are going. Others redirect us when we get lost. Still, others remain to guide those we leave behind. I see your footprints.
Will you/they see mine?
