‘Shark Tank’ casting call Sunday at The Battery

- By Ben Brasch ben.brasch@ajc.com

Are you an entreprene­ur who likes getting yelled at by rich people?

Then maybe you ought to clear your calendar this Sunday.

That’s when the popular ABC show “Shark Tank” will be holding an open casting call at The Battery inside the Comcast building, at 2065 Circle 75 Parkway.

Be prepared to give a 1-minute pitch, like on the show.

The program has on folks with everything from a kernel of an idea to a fully developed business to pitch what they have to the judges, called “sharks,” to see if they’ll invest.

Those at the open call will be given a wristband and will have to have security check their bag, the show posted online. Wristbands will be given out between noon and 2 p.m.

The interviews start at 1 p.m.

After getting your wristband, you’ll have time to go back to your vehicle to get any large or bulky props or equipment.

And don’t bank on there being access to power or A/V equipment.

Also: “There is no reason to camp out the night before.”

You must also fill out the 15-page applicatio­n, which advises applicants of things such as: You may not be cur- rently running for public office, and you agree not to do so for a year after your show airs.

Anyone with questions is told to email casting@sharktankt­v.com.
