ABC's 'The Bachelor' Casting For Baltimore Area Men, Women

HANOVER, MD — Calling all Baltimore area single men and women looking for love as America watches: The ABC reality show “The Bachelor” will hold a casting call for the new season on Thursday, June 21. The auditions will be held at Maryland Live! Casino & Hotel in Hanover, says WMAR TV.

From 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday, show producers will interview potential candidates at Live! Center Stage to represent Baltimore in upcoming episodes. Single men and woman are invited to the casting call as producers search for the next bachelor and his bachelorettes.

“The Bachelor,” hosted by TV personality Chris Harrison, debuted in 2002 on ABC. The series, which airs locally on WMAR, revolves around a single bachelor looking for love among 15-20 single women.

In case you're a newcomer to the reality drama, over the course of the season the bachelor dates the bachelorettes, including visits with families and vacations in tropical paradises. He eliminates bachelorettes until he finds his potential wife, capping the selection with a proposal and a red rose.

In the most recent season, Arie Luyendyk Jr., a retired Formula 1 racer who is now a real estate broker in Scottsdale, Arizona, shocked fans by first proposing to publicist Becca Kufrin, 27, and then dumping her for sales executive Lauren Burnham, 26, says People magazine.

Admission is free, but interested candidates are encouraged to bring a filled-out application and pictures. Visit https://casting.bachelor.warnerbros.com to complete the application in advance.
