The Studio@620, St Petersburg FL
A Rollicking, Gender-Bending Radio-Theatre-Telenovela Adventure in Four Cliffhanger Episodes, illustrated by Creative Clay – to benefit The Studio@620.
Marlene Malone is searching the world for her long-gone mom – Riley Malone, notorious spy and master of disguise who disappeared 42 and a half years ago, when Marlene was 11.
With her capable companion Poppy and her Aunty Bee’s dog Freddy, Marlene travels the world for the truth amid plot twists and shocking revelations, mistaken identity, hidden identity, transformation, blatant lies, long-lost love and family complications – it’s a rip-roaring voyage of discovery in a homemade airship as Marlene discovers her mom was really her dad in disguise all along and is now a woman – and the person Marlene believes is her nemesis is her biological mom, who was disguised as her dad at the time.
All ends happily for everyone except the goofy bad guys, as Marlene and Freddy blast off with Poppy – with the final shocking revelation that Poppy’s an alien!
