Proper Manors is a soap opera about the small, fictional town of Proper, USA and its inhabitants. The show's production takes place in Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah, and its cast and crew comes heavily from that area. The show was created by Pietro D'Alessio and Jef Phillips, best friends since high school, and is loosely based on their experiences growing up in various locations across the country. Proper Manors will premiere online on May 31, 2012.

About the Show
The show follows a group of teenagers, who recently graduated high school, in Proper, USA, mainly focusing on best friends Joey Sorrento (Hunter Gomez) and Jef Knights (Beau Stine) enduring difficult times and trials. Joey, Jef and their peers, shortly after graduation, begin to discover that they are merely pawns and tools in the games that the adults of Proper play.

Development
Alessio, a fan of soap operas growing up, came up with the idea that would turn into Proper Manors when he was in 7th grade. The main character, Joey, is based on Alessio and Jef Knights is based on co-creator Phillips, and a number of the experiences they had together growing up. Originally slated to be produced in New Hampshire, Proper Manors began production in Ogden, Utah on March 17, 2012.

Premier
The Red Carpet Premier for Proper Manors is scheduled for May 29, 2012 and will be held at the historic Peery's Egyptian Theater in Ogden, Utah. The show will premier to the public two days later.
