Oxygen Media's new series "The Glee Project" will hold open casting calls in Chicago on December 18 and 19.

Oxygen is looking for talented young men and women with strong vocal, acting, dancing abilities and big personalities to compete in a reality show for a multi-episode guest-starring role in Season 3 of "Glee".

Musical theater experience is a plus, but not required. Candidates must be at least 18 years of age (but able to convincingly portray the role of a teenager) and be legally eligible to work in the United States.

Auditions will be held at the Chicago Academy For The Arts at 1010 West Chicago Avenue.
