Mystery and mayhem

With creepy music playing in the background, the familiar voice of John Zirkle introduces “Inherent Danger: A Mountain Murder Series.” The new radio theater series created by the Big Sky Community Theater group over the last six weeks gives a nod to the culture of Big Sky.

Locals who would normally grace the stage at Warren Miller Performing Arts Center and showcase their talents as they did in last year’s performance of “HOWL” can now be heard with five of the eight episodes now available on Apple Podcasts. The original script was written by longtime resident Barbara Rowley.

“It’s a fictional mountain murder mystery, and a really cool pivot for COVID times,” Zirkle said.
