Experiencing Interruptions?

Where the Stars Fell

Dr. Edison Tucker is having a very weird life. Not being able to die tends to color things that way. Lucille Kensington is the literary scene’s biggest enigma. That’s just the way she likes it. When the pair find themselves sharing a cabin in the strangest town in America— Jerusalem, OR— they’re prepared for a housemate situation from hell. What they’re not expecting is tidings of a stranger sort: Ed is the antichrist, Lucy her guardian angel, and if they can’t find a way to work together soon, the rapture is set to take first the town, then the world… but neither of them know that yet. Welcome to Jerusalem, OR, where what doesn’t kill you is just another mystery.

Director Statement

Where the Stars Fell is made possible by a diverse team of young creators that are passionate about ensuring our fresh and underrepresented voices are heard in this industry. Identity and disability are core themes of the show, and we've been delighted and touched to hear how so many of our listeners can, ironically, see themselves and their experiences in the characters. Especially now, after the last three years have shone a bright light on how often people with disabilities go overlooked in society, we find it imperative to tell this story authentically and with heart. From the way our soundtrack reflects the sounds of the Appalachian region where the show is produced, to the representation of LGBTQ+ and Jewish individuals, people with disabilities, and POC in the show and the cast and crew, to our commitment to accessibility for all listeners through initiatives such as making all of our episodes available with transcripts in OpenDyslexic, we are dedicated to ensuring that everyone feels welcome in Jerusalem, OR.
