Jimmy Ackerman: Monsterologist!

Don't Close Your Eyes: Live Radio Theatre!

Season 5, Episode 3: "Jimmy Ackerman: Monsterologist!"

A Scary Coming-of-Age Tale written and directed by Keith Suta!

Jimmy Ackerman is like any kid in New York during WWII: His dad is overseas fighting; his mom works at a munitions plant; and he's got to do his dad's job as superintendant of a small tenement filled with... interesting folks. Jimmy escapes into the exciting and spooky adventures of Doctor Aberrant -- wanting to grow up to be a Monsterologist, just like his radio hero! His friend Cordelia (who is definitely NOT his babysitter) tells him that monsters are all made-up. Until those holes appear in the walls... Until people in the building start dying... Until Jimmy must face a monster.

Featuring: Owen Burroughs as Jimmy Ackerman; Leyla Kirschner as Cordelia Loomis; Wren Goodman as Shelly Ackerman and Delfina; Harry Jahnke as Doctor Aberrant, Mrs. Cooger, and Mr. Loomis; Ryan Lawrence Flynn as Delbert, The Operator, Mr. Bachmann, and Detective Murdoch; and Keith Suta as Mr. Announcer! Theremin and Live Sound Effects performed by Kyle Suta and Sarah Suta!
