FRIENDS, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. STAY SAFE AND BE WELL. THANKS.

Join us for on March 28 for a reading of scripted audio fiction in progress!

Jesus Pancake is an audio fiction series being collaboratively written by the Soapbox Audio Collective, a team of local writers.

Microwaves, family secrets, spiders, friendship, and the Power of the Pancake converge in this dark comedy about a middle-aged woman reckoning with her power for the first time. Aimee is intrigued when a pancake she makes looks just like Jesus, until she realizes something truly profound and dangerous is at work.

  • Episodes 1-3 will be read on March 28. (See below for details.)
  • Episodes 4-6 will be read on April 13.
  • Episode 7-9 will be read when they are finished!

Each reading will be followed by a conversation with the writers about collaborative writing and writing for audio. These are first draft episodes that need an audience to take them to the next level in their development.
