A New Children's Musical by Matt Glickstein and Jason Spraggins *

As hosts of a present-day podcast present their latest episode, Flight of the Mothman, the audience is swept back in time to 1984, where a cryptid-infused mystery unfolds at a popular summer camp—Camp Pleasant Pines.  Strange rumors about a creature called the Mothman spread among the staff and campers.  Some even claim to have caught glimpses of the flying cryptid with its glowing red eyes and massive wings.  But with nerves on edge, who can be sure?

The Junior Gumshoe Agency, a group of campers that includes true believer Riley and his skeptic best friend Casey, investigates.  As the two friends clash, the residents of Camp Pleasant Pines get caught up in a whirlwind of strange clues and unsettling events.  Everyone begins to question what’s really going on—and if the Mothman is behind it all.  Flight of the Mothman is a wild ride of 80s-inspired songs, surprising reveals, and funny antics that lead to an unexpected truth—one that’s stranger than fiction.
