Los Angeles, CA – After a long day of casting at Film Independent in Los Angeles, Scraping Bottom Productions is delighted to announce that Kelly Marchand has been cast to play the role of Miss Coche’ in the upcoming dark comedy Home School Musical. Kelly will play the part of the has-been cheerleader who works as the activities coordinator for the home schoolers. Kelly’s audition was so riotously funny it had the casting team in stitches. “I’ve never seen an actor walk in and take over the casting room the way Kelly did,” commented producer/director M. J. Johnson, “this will be a blast.”
