mackenzie and the missing boy

“If all that stood between you and ‘happily ever after’ was a little white lie, would you tell it?”

Dark. Thrilling. Melodrama.

Set in Great Depression-era New York, Mackenzie and the Missing Boy is an original radio musical about a reformed flapper with a Scheherazade-like knack for spinning elaborate stories. To win back her son’s love and her sister’s trust, all Mackenzie has to do is tell one last lie — a little white lie with the darkest of consequences. Book Musical, Jazz Age, Medium to Large Cast (9 Principal Performers + Ensemble).
