The New York Crimes is a modern radio play written and recorded by Kristen Felicetti. Albert and Wallace Wren are two twentysomething brothers living an aimless existence in Brooklyn, until they are offerered a unique job by Norman Avery, a reclusive writer. Norman hires them to be private investigators for his company, an underground detective agency made up of over-educated and directionless young people in their twenties. As Albert and Wallace investigate their first case, they encounter a variety of New York characters during their adventures. The brothers perform at underground music venues, get in car chases, take acting classes with a vain actress, sneak around a hipster trailer park, all while drinking whiskey, chain smoking, and trying their best to imitate the lifestyle of hard-boiled detectives.

Employing a narrator and a serial format, The New York Crimes is a comedy/mystery that references old-time radio plays of the past, but has a contemporary setting, story, and attitude. It features the voices of over twenty actors, music of all eras, many sound effects, and a love for sound in general.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thank you to everyone who supported or encouraged this project, it meant a lot. A very special thank you to the friends and actors who lent their voices to The New York Crimes. You all were incredibly funny and moving. If this radio play has spark and life, it is because of the names listed in the cast below. - Kristen
