After live tapings were mostly sidelined for the past two years, podcasters are continuing to put events back on their calendar. The team from Saints, Sinners & Serial Killers says they will host a live-taping in Boston on Wednesday (April 20). Led by show hosts Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge, the producers say it will be an “immersive multi-sensory storytelling experience” featuring an ensemble cast who will perform scenes from their bestselling true crime thrillers, including Search for the (Boston) Strangler, Hunting Whitey: The Inside Story of the Capture & Killing of America's Most Wanted Crime Boss, Bad Blood: Freedom & Death in the White Mountains, and James Patterson's The Last Days of John Lennon.
"The Boston theater scene has never experienced a show as intense as this one," said Sherman and Wedge in a joint statement. "We're bringing Whitey Bulger, Albert DeSalvo, and even the great John Lennon to the stage. We're taking the audience on a thrill ride through our deep investigations into some of the most notorious crimes in American history."
The Saints, Sinners Serial Killers Live cast will feature Patty O'Neil (Stronger), David Pridemore (The Finest Hours & The Tender Bar), Alison Wachtler (Chappaquiddick), Mike Southworth (Same Kind of Different as Me), Gary Tanguay (Don't Look Up, Knives Out, I Care A Lot, Bleed for This), Alecia Batson (Moonrise Kingdom), Leah Procito (Spencer Confidential), Michael Maggiani (The Folklorist), Jon M.
