*Munchen, Minnesota*

ABOUT THE SERIES: Like a lot of older industrial cities in the Midwest,
Munchen, Minnesota has fallen on hard times. Many of the town’s
neighborhoods have emptied, leaving houses vacant and crumbling. Crime is
rampant. But Munchen’s got an even more serious problem: *it’s on the verge
of a supernatural infestation*. And the only people with the power to save
it are a geeky teenage girl, her gay librarian father, and an ambitious
city planner who didn’t have a clue what he was in for when he transferred
from the East Coast. It's a combination of horror, mystery, comedy and
family drama.


The pilot episode, “It’s Pronounced Munchin’” will be recorded in front of
a live audience as part of Cleveland Public Theatre’s Dark Room on Tuesday,
January 13th at 7:00pm. Actors must be available for rehearsals the week of
January 4th.



We are looking to cast a large number of actors for the entire series, but
are especially interested in casting the following roles for the pilot
episode. Since this is a podcast, a strong voice and acting talent is more
important than whether or not an actor looks the role.



*Jonathan Jewell*, 26, is an urban planner recently fired from his job with
a federal housing agency in Washington, D.C. Out of desperation, he’s just
accepted a job with the Munchen, Minnesota Department of Housing and
Development. He grew up in L.A., the son of affluent parents. He is African
American.

*Raul Aceveda*, 31, is Steve’s boyfriend of two years. He is of Puerto
Rican descent, works as a junior marketing executive at Ladyslipper
Cosmetics, Inc., and is a big name in the local drag scene.
*Miles Redfeather*, 14, is of Native American descent. He’s Meredith’s
classmate at Munchen South High School. Nerdy and overweight, he’s the
target of much ridicule by his more popular, athletic peers. He lives with
his overworked mother, a nurse, and his father, a truck driver.
