This is a work of fiction that me and a friend had wrote out in hope of one day making it into a 12 Part radio-play. Dia de los muertos (Day of the Dead) is a radio play that takes place in Alternate 1950s America where a lone vigilante is fighting to take back a city ruin by a big time crime syndicate. The radio play will cover anywhere between 25-45 minutes per part. If there is enough drive behind the project we will expand past 12 parts to make a (season 2) and a combined total of 24 parts. Currently this is a independent project. We are currently Auditioning for just two parts of the Radio - Drama as the other ten are being tweaked and polished, if we decide to continue the project, we REALLY would like to have the original cast to continue the story.
Backstory to Day of the Dead: After having completed his final days in the military Marcus vowed to seek out those who did the city a great wrong. The story takes place in alternate 1950's America in a small town of Los Croecha, where a major crime syndicate has taken a foothold over the city. Police have been battling the syndicate for longer than they like to admit, but the progress is always stalled out. Marcus seeing this, dawns on his hood and paints his face to that of a skeleton, and dubs himself Dia De Los Muentos. Through the series you will find Marcus struggling with his past in attempts to make up for whats happening in the future. Along the way a varying cast will keep you on your toes.

Rules:
The Narrator is pretty self-explainatory. While he/she is not the leading role of the entire radio play, they do play a part in setting both the pace and setting of the story. all voice types considered; looking for a more gravely voice with some experience behind it
The Scene is set, The year, 1952. A major Drug deal is about to get the cover blown off like a steamcooker under pressure. O
It starts as any day here in the town of Los Croecha, Dwellers bustling about, only thing keeping
them from falling apart is the mere thought of life. Yet, when night falls. A new story begins to
unfold
Episode One: Life is no rose in the town of Los Croecha.
Simple Crime Member, does not have a significant role in the story, but can appear multiple times in other episodes. Mainly a Generic role
So, you think you can just slip away with the goods and I wouldn't notice

No, I Slipped my payment. This is - (Gun Shots to wound him)
Why you little - I will have your head for that!
Marcus is a lone Vigilante known by most as (Dia De Los Muentos) he is of Hispanic decent who lives in America. Marcus has a troubled past and the scars to prove it. Being both abused and abandoned as a child as well as being tortured while in the military Marcus has a blood thirst vengeance to dish out. He is protective of those he trusts. He can be seen as cocky, and a little not right in the head. His humor can land him into hot trouble.
All Voice Types Considered. (Looking for more of a lower register voice)
*Laughing from the rafters* oh, what a show you can put on
There lives were a stain on this city....I cleaned it up....something you or your comrades could never do
I'm sorry detective, but your sense of morality Doesn't justify the lives these men have ruined
(More information about this character coming soon)
McMillan currently is your cookie cutter movie detective until a story is built for him.
YOU THINK SENSELESS SLAUGHTER IS JUSTICE?!? YOUR NO BETTER THEN A SERIAL KILLER AND YOU KNOW THAT!
Yeah well I got a room full of dead meth heads that says otherwise!
