New Docudrama to Center on Arranged Marriages

LOS ANGELES, June 13:
Casting is under way for a new docudrama from award-winning producers Magical
Elves and Lifetime that follows men and women who have used the ancient
cultural practice of arranged marriage to find a lifelong partner.

Loved ones will match
selected participants based on shared goals, values, experiences and commitment
to the relationship. Arranged Marriage will then follow the first year in the life of this newly married
couple.

"This has the
potential to be one of the most interesting social experiments in years,"
said Jane Lipsitz, the founder of Magical Elves, along with producing partner
Dan Cutforth. "The concept of finding a mate for life is universal, and we
are excited to bring this journey to television."
