SHAYNA
AUDIO DRAMA PODCAST
… a New York story caught between two worlds
An audio drama in three acts / Podcast by Lost & Found Project
“Shayna”, examines the journey of a young singer-songwriter in New York who can’t catch a break. She is estranged from her brother and ailing mother, stuck in dead-end relationships, and stalled creatively. But when a beautiful, haunting melody lodges itself in Shayna's mind, it unearths a family mystery and a century-old injustice that only Shayna can make right. What is Shayna's connection to the dybbuk of Jewish folklore? Where has her mother disappeared to? What happened between two sisters in a Russian shtetl at the dawn of the twentieth century? And why is Shayna harassed by an online stalker? “Shayna” is partially based on personal stories of actors of the Lost & Found Project.
