The Unsolved and Forgotten Crimes of Sullivan County (and Surrounding Municipalities)
An Original Audio Musical Production
UFCSCSM (in addition to being a really intuitive, simple acronym) is a musical comedy murder mystery written specifically for the audio/podcast format.
We follow Beverly, a lovably eccentric, small-town true-crime podcaster – think cat lady without the cats – who turns her failing show around after stumbling upon a 25-year-old murder. When Beverly’s listenership skyrockets and she comes too close to the truth, she must choose between giving up her dream (solving a real case!), and endangering herself and her family – all while navigating the ethical minefield of true-crime entertainment.
For fans of cozy mystery, musical satire, and audio drama. We are seeking producing partners to realize our dream of finally solving one real crime – wait, no, of getting this podcast recorded. Reach out!
