On April 27, 2020, Scott Young conducted a virtual table reading of a screenplay he was developing. Covid-19 lockdowns had been in effect for over a month, and he invited creative people to participate via Zoom. The table reading featured 48 people voicing the characters and lasted 4 hours. Among the participants was Joe Bly, the Program Manager at KNVC 95.1 FM, a community radio station in Carson City, Nevada. |
|||
The first season concluded with Episode 13 on February 5, 2021. |
|||
The next day, Young received emails from the voice actors expressing their enjoyment of the reading, with particular praise for Bly’s performance. During a subsequent conversation, Bly suggested adapting the screenplay for radio, leveraging his position at KNVC. A 6-page proposal titled ''Skeletons in the Closet'' was developed into ''Secrets of Harridge House,'' with Joe Bly leading the development efforts at KNVC. |

By late July, Young and Bly partnered with Proscenium Players, Inc. (PPI), a local theater company. Jeff Basa, representing Proscenium Players, Inc. (PPI), took on the role of Executive Producer. The project received unanimous support from the PPI board on August 10, 2020, who set a premiere date for October 30, 2020, with an initial 13-episode season. |

The series was developed by Scott Young and John Adams as an homage to the 1960s soap opera ''Dark Shadows''. Although inspired by ''Dark Shadows'', Young emphasized that the stories and characters of ''Secrets of Harridge House'' have no direct connection to the former. |

While discussing old-time radio programs, Young and Bly developed the concept of ''Skeletons in the Closet,'' a story about three siblings returning to their family home after their birth mother's death. They soon discover that the inhabitants of the house are harboring secrets. The proposal for ''Skeletons in the Closet'' was promptly developed and embraced for further production at KNVC. |

In late July 2020, Bly secured interest from Jeff Basa at Proscenium Players, Inc. The team had to quickly prepare for a presentation to the PPI board. Young and John Adams created a promotional script, which Bly recorded with actors and enhanced with sound effects and music. This promo was presented to the PPI board on August 10, 2020, securing their support. |
