"Glee" to host auditions at UC

FOX 19 is giving fans of a popular TV show a reason to be extremely "Glee"-ful.

As part of a contest sponsored by Cincinnati Bell, live auditions will be hosted in the Great Hall of Tangeman University Center at the University of Cincinnati March 27 from noon to 4 p.m., according to FOX19's Web site.

The auditions are part of a nation-wide casting call for three roles in the second season of "Glee."

Participants must be between 16-26 and sing a song previously featured on the show, with songs like "Take a Bow," "Sweet Caroline" and "Gold Digger" among the choices.

Those interested can also upload a 60-second audition video on FOX19's Web site beginning Monday, March 15.

Ten winners will be selected by judges at the live auditions, while nine more will be chosen from the online submissions. The 19 finalists will compete at the College-Conservatory of Music April 19, and the winner will have his audition tape produced by FOX19 and sent to Glee casting producers.

New "Glee" episodes begin on FOX Tuesday nights in April.
