Everly Heights, Ohio—where the past clings like smoke, and every escape route loops you back to Main Street. In each standalone episode of this scripted anthology, you'll hear stories set in Everly Heights about growing up, breaking down, and being pulled back to where it all began. Equal parts quirky and tender, these stories drift between the uncanny and the everyday—haunted theaters, fractured families, strange friendships, and the kind of hometown lore that follows you long after you’ve left. Everly Heights Tales is funny until it’s tragic, ordinary until it’s not, and always ready to remind you that leaving doesn’t mean you won't be back.2025 Everly Heights Productions Drama & Plays

    Dec 3 2025

    Join us at Greco's, where the pasta is hot, the staff is snooty, and conversation is the best thing on the menu. Steve Loop goes to dinner with his high school tormentor Jerome Bentley to answer a question: can an old dog really learn new tricks? Over pizza and other Appalachian delicacies, these two former adversaries navigate the minefield of past grievances, high school swirlies, and the surprising power of Jolt Cola to turn back the block and put right what once went wrong.

    In the aftershow, Bill Meeks reveals how a casting call for Welcome, Freshmen alumni led to this unexpected pairing and shares the true story of his own college reunion with a high school bully that inspired this tale. Plus, get the scoop on the real-world inspiration for Greco’s and find out which other familiar faces are returning to Everly Heights this holiday season.

    When King Sparrow is betrayed by his most trusted captain, a monarch of the skies is cast to the ground, doomed to wander the forest broken, alone, and certain his reign is over.
