about the show

Set in Great Depression-era New York, Mackenzie and the Missing Boy is an original radio musical melodrama 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).
