MIDNIGHT IN THE BACKROOMSWhat if a dead mall was literally a *dead* mall? Chris and Victoria find themselves in the mall they worked in as teenagers, stuck in the same snowed-in day in 1998 that never ends. The Evergreen Glen Mall, or as it’s known on the other side, it’s the EverMall!Their old friends are back, as are stores they thought long gone. Mall information is vague and cryptic. Their coworkers seem content to stay there forever. Their case manager is too busy swiping right on straight guys who manage to not have a dead fish in their profile. And there’s something ominous and creepy about that Things Recalled store. No one’s ever in there, but no one ever was when it was open and alive either. There has to be more to life… or whatever… than this, right? Is anyone else out there?WRITTEN BYMarissa McCool, Don Ford, Jr., Eric HannaEDITED AND CAST BYMarissa McCoolCASTVICTORIA - Marissa McCoolCHRIS - Don Ford, Jr.CLAIRE - Amy WithawhyELLE - Bernard NaaszWASHBURN - Asdis KarsbarnMANDY - Ari StillmanDON - Tony OpeltEMERSON - Eric HannaDEAD MALL URBEXER - Eric HannaCONDUCTOR - Gem NewmanHAROLD - Tony OpeltBARBARA - Tony OpeltTICKET TAKER - Laura Creek NewmanTHERESA - Jodi RehlanderJULIAN - Jonathon RehlanderAD READ NARRATORS - Don Ford, Jr., Tony OpeltMUSICPlaylist of all music here: https://youtu.be/VA8Jbs6_GqA?si=_LZnHYz1crHeFe6yAll credit for music belongs to the artists.

Half the team has quit, half the coaches have gone with them, and what's left of the squad still has a chance to play in the WFCA championships in Fargo if they can defeat the Millers. Lake effect weather is a thing though, and traveling through the Great Lakes region at any time of year can bring unexpected consequences, like an ice storm. With their season already in dire straits, the driver nopeing off to look for help, and the coach trying to fix the bus in frigid conditions, how will the team pass the time before their big showdown? A women's football comedy, Superiors vs. Millers, Sounds About Cleveland, tells the story of the ups, downs, and realities of the sport of women's football with likely every kind of teammate you've ever had and then some.CASTTen - Marissa McCoolNia - Jessica Osborne RiddleCJ - Ashlyn NobleSequoia - Erin TruexPhonebook - Asdis KarsbarnTJ - Melissa MacDonaldBearcat - Ari StillmanJay - Tony OpeltWoodstock - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/copygirl48?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZWVIYdBaG1R1Yk5dCrSgMztqDwwlkAxMM08ZM9pkHr0DZKp0nfswrG-Ifece9rM9H3fL2qwwouSGRsJnVj3RthkAR06XM43aafAg9Rgv7ZQQvj4smIBWJuAOx78NPgwTfnhGdUCYnXCUTBRSdLhOsBkrqdul7q4ImLd6f0ijRdFeQ&__tn__=-%5DK-R"...

Bitter Tea, the Way the Volcano Gods of Rainier Intended: An AudioplaySUMMARYEleanor and Rain, two non-binary recluses, live off the grid and gender binary in Northern Minnesota. Living with them is a younger college student named Alex. One day, Alex comes home and drops a bomb on them: they met a girl named Jenny at school and was invited to thanksgiving dinner with her family. The problem? Alex RSVP’d… for all of them. Alex signed up Rain and Eleanor to come… as their cisgender heterosexual parents. Now, not only do Eleanor and Rain have to figure out how to pretend to be something they’ve never been, but they have to learn how to interact with people they’ve avoided for over a decade. They have, like, a family. That comes together on holidays. And they’re all still married. And they’re straight. And cisgender. What kind of twisted world is this?CASTEleanor - Ari StillmanRain - Tom S TeaAlex - Murphy Lennex-McCoolJenny - Jen AldrichGloria - "Dr. Mac" Melissa MacDonaldAunt D - Giovannie EspirituGrandma Ruth - Jodi "Moose" RehlanderGrandma Emma - Erin "Redwood" TruexAunt Kathy - Amy WithawhyVi - Marissa Lennex-McCoolJack - Tim WickUncle Frank - Don Ford, Jr. "Voice of Fantasy and Adventure"Uncle Dave - Eli DadabhoyGrandpa Roger - Tony OpeltWRITTEN, DIRECTED, CAST, AND EDITED BYMarissa McCoolMusic by The MidnightSound effects and scene music from creative commons and sound effects libraries
