The Sicilian Pigeon: A Noir Radio Comedy
Comedy/Radio Comedy
Full Length Cast: 5-20 actors Everything changes for Detective Dick Diamond when a mysterious woman walks into his office. The search for her missing husband pulls them down into the deep, seedy underbelly of 1940's New York. This hilarious, self-aware, film noir parody combines some of the genre's most famous stories (Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, Sunset Blvd, and more!) into this fun radio comedy. This show can be performed as a typical radio play or a "live" radio show. |
"A noir radio play? A FUNNY noir radio play? YES, PLEASE! McCann's sure grasp of the genre, his whiplash wit, and imaginative use of the audio format makes this a winner in my book. So much fun to read, I can only imagine what bliss sitting in a darkened room listening to it would be." - New Play Exchange Reviewer

Colin, the high school theatre director – unemployed due to recent budget cuts – convinces Mitch – the lone member of the City Council – to invest in a community production of A Christmas Carol to improve morale and rally the town. It seems the fate of the town rests on Colin’s shoulders. But he does have help from his stage manager Rachel, and his ill-cast troupe actors, including: Doris, the professional “artiste” and theatre veteran (think Norma Desmond,) Janice, straight A+ student and DIY queen, and Joshua, a young man dealing with the ghosts of his own past. Can this one show keep Millsburg from becoming a ghost town? |

Hiking through the North Carolina woods, Caleb has hurt his foot and Matt, his older brother, is determined to get him to safety. When a man happens upon the boys - not so randomly- Matt's mission gets harder to achieve.
“ Well written, quickly gets in the action and puts our characters in a very scary situation. The audience will question whether they choose to take that hike or head to the movies next time. The pacing was spot on and didn't give away too much, leaving the audience to really wonder...." - New Play Exchange Reviewer
