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: <i>it’s on the verge of a supernatural infestation</i>. 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.</span></span></p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span class="im"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">

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. </span></span></p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">
