A Hollywood noir segment set in the Golden age of Tinseltown, which proves that the facts of the city are much stranger than fiction in the movies it manufactures. This serialized segment was performed live during the M Bar days.
Tales from the Black Lagoon was presented in full at one special performance at the Lillian Theatre on February 10, 2010 before the Thrilling Adventure Hour migrated to Largo at the Coronet.[1] It was then recorded in studio and engineered by Eban Schletter for release on the podcast.
In 2017, the live version was revived by Mark Gagliardi and members of Workjuice East for a performance at The Bell House.[2]
