About America After Midnight: Audio Drama for Strange Times
America After Midnight is an anthology series of audio dramas that use horror, the surreal, and the uncanny to explore the darkest corners of the American psyche. Trigger warning: These stories are full of uncomfortable content and populated by flawed, desperate, and doomed humans who usually do and say the wrong thing... with tragic consequences.
A floundering poet's desperate search to boost his creativity leads to a horrific medical procedure in this provocative series of monologues by Tom Lavagnino. TREPANATION stars David Dietz, Bill Holtz, Brandon L.L. Bishop, and Heather Peloza. Questions about AMERICA AFTER MIDNIGHT can be directed to Matt Pelfrey at daspelf@gmail dot com.

05. Monkey
On the edge of town, camping in the woods near a freeway onramp, a man, stripped of everything, is confronted by his son over a long-forgotten promise.
Monkey was originally produced in Los Angeles at Moving Arts Theatre Company. Max Franko co-produced with 99 Seats in Your Skull. Fun fact: Almost everything in this audio drama is based on / inspired by, real stuff. My uncle was homeless by choice for a long time. My great uncle gave me a fossilized mud crack for my birthday. My dad promised to buy me a monkey but didn't. This was all recorded online during the pandemic so if you notice some inconsistent vocals -- hey, sometimes that's just the way it goes. Thanks for listening.
