Tales From The Museum: audio theater

An audio theater mini-series written by Charles Russell

The Regional Museum in Johnson City, Tennessee has been the site of some strange goings-on ever since it was first built. Legends surround the place: tales of murders, mysterious disappearances, and bizarre religious orders. Some of these were "documented" by a PBS special, but most are passed on by word of mouth. Most of the staff there doesn't believe a word of it ... but Special Services coordinator Keith Nash? He's starting to think ... well, he doesn't know what to think.

All in all, the museum is an interesting and challenging place to work ... and things keep happening to make it more interesting all the time.
