Can the preliminary interviews for casting contestants for the tv show: Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader be held in Columbia MO?

Unfortunately, it seems that's not possible. I've found casting calls online for contestants for the show, and they state that auditions take place in Los Angeles and prospective contestants must be within driving distance of LA to audition. You could probably send in your information to be considered without leaving Columbia, but you'd have to be able to get to Los Angeles on very short notice to audition, and would have to stay there until the decision is made.

I've included a link to an expired casting call as an example.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
