The Sony Pictures Television made-for-tv movie “Prepared for a Purpose”, which will air on Lifetime, has scheduled an open casting call for Thursday, May 25, 2017 in Pittsburgh, PA. The casting directors are looking for adults, teens, and children of all types, and any ethnicity. To be considered, all adults, children and foreign talent must be legally eligible to work on television shows in Pittsburgh, PA and in the United States. The Pittsburgh Actors Resource Guide eBook has the information and documentation necessary to work in the entertainment in Pennsylvania and the United States. Grammy Award winner Toni Braxton will star in “Prepared for a Purpose” playing the role of Antoinette Tuff.
“Prepared for a Purpose” is a true story based on the novel “Prepared for a Purpose: The Inspiring True Story of How One Woman Saved an Atlanta School Under Siege” by Antoinette Tuff. As 870 children waited in fear, their elementary school rushed into lockdown mode. As the nation faced yet another Sandy Hook story of tragedy, one woman rewrote the ending. Yet the story doesn’t start with those first steps Michael Hill took into that Atlanta elementary school. It starts with Antoinette Tuff, a woman who faced her own pain, hurt, and rejection, yet held onto grace, faith, and hope. A hope that anchored her in the most high stakes of moments, a grace that allowed her to empathize with a hurting young man, and a faith that gave her the courage to love him back from the brink. This is more than just the amazing account of tragedy averted. It’s the evidence of what we can do when we allow ourselves to be used by God. And it’s a story of how God uses all of our life experiences – the good and the bad – to prepare us for our own moment of divine purpose.
