A New T.V. Reality

(NAPSA)-A new reality show is taking the "life is a soap opera"
concept to a whole new level, as
contestants vie for the ultimate
daytime dream: a role on "General Hospital."

"I Wanna Be a Soap Star" is the casting call of a lifetime. The SOAPnet series captures 12 aspiring actors who live full-time on a sound stage with actual soap opera sets.

As the cameras roll, they capture every moment of triumph, tribulation, manipulation and tears as the contestants play out their fantasies to become soap stars, as
fictional characters by day and
themselves by night.

One by one, a panel of experts eliminates contestants until one remains to become "General Hospital's" next soap star. The finale will air on SOAPnet on Saturday, November 20 at 8 p.m.

"This is a great format for reality," says Eric Schotz, the show's executive producer. "From fight scenes to love scenes, the contestants will be tested both on and off camera around the clock." On "I Wanna Be A Soap Star," a new reality show, contestants vie to win a shot at stardom on a popular soap opera.
