Former GUIDING LIGHT actress Bonnie Dennison has landed a lead role in Fox's new Matt Hubbard multi-camera comedy pilot, according to Deadline.

Hubbard was co-executive producer on 30 ROCK and will executive produce the new series along with 30 ROCK showrunners Tina Fey and Robert Carlock.

Directed/exec produced by Pam Fryman, the untitled comedy is set at a women's college that begins accepting men for the first time in its history. Dennison will play Thena, a pretty but uptight sophomore, a hard-core feminist and leader of the sizable population of Cabot College that does not want men on campus. However, her militance masks a vulnerable and romantic side that pops up in unexpected ways.

Dennison played Daisy on GUIDING LIGHT during the show's final three seasons.
