From a press release:

CBS’s hit reality show “Survivor” returns to Mohegan Sun Pocono in Wilkes-Barre for an open casting call on Tuesday, Dec. 20.

If you think you have what it takes to outwit, outplay, and outlast your competitors, you’ll have your chance to try out from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in the Keystone Grand Ballroom at Mohegan Sun’s Convention Center (1280 Hwy. 315, Wilkes-Barre) for the chance to become a castaway in the running for $1 million.

Participants must be 21 years of age or older and may not line up until 8 a.m. on the morning of the event. Registration begins at 10 a.m. in Salon CDE, and auditions will be held in Salon F of the Keystone Grand Ballroom.

Eligibility requirements and downloadable applications are available here. For more information, call Mark Prutisto at 570-706-7442 or e-mail MPrutisto@pahomepage.com.

18 castaways will compete against each other on “Survivor” when the Emmy Award-winning series returns on Wednesdays on CBS. This edition of “Survivor,” filmed in Cagayan, a province in the Philippines, will be themed “Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty.” The groupings of these tribes, each comprised of six castaways, reflect the distinguishing qualities that people bring to the game and test whether there is any truth to the preconceived notion that that certain characteristics will help you win the game of “Survivor.” All castaways will compete to outwit, outplay, outlast, and ultimately be crowned Sole Survivor. The show is hosted by Emmy Award winner Jeff Probst.
