    10th Anniversary Season presents LOCKED IN!

    Recorded live from the Swedish American Museum in Chicago on October 23, 2022, Small Fish Radio Theatre and Thespinarium presents its first live show since before times—LOCKED IN! Our 2022 horror show opens with an original song, WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF FEAR by Small Fish Radio Theatre co-producer, voice actor, and singer/songwriter MJ Kelly. Five short plays follow. SUPPLY CLOSET by Christina Meyer. Milwaukee area playwright Christina Meyer is a family medicine physician who loves aerial arts and hanging upside down. A MIDNIGHT SNACK by Ken Teutsch. Writer, performer and Arkansas native Ken Teutsch enjoys keeping people guessing as to whether he is a clever musical comedian, or simply a bad musician. THE MOONCUSSER by Greg Tulonen. Greg Tulonen, who lives in Auburn Maine, writes novels and films, short stories and comic books, web series and stage plays, and an occasional audio horror short. PEACHY KEEN by Sophia Vitkovitsky. Sophia Vitkovitsky is a popular Toronto hermit who chooses to remain a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, covered in creamy, milk chocolate—which is what can happen when you eat a Hershey bar too close to the radiator. THE HOARD by Chicago playwright Trina Kakacek, who has been known to talk to dead ancestors, and their toys, almost daily. Featured artists: Mark Kater, MJ Kelly, Joy Thorbjornsen-Coates, and Stan Winiarski, with special guest Kristina Schramm. Directing, music and sound design by Trina Kakacek. Small Fish Radio Theatre and Thespinarium is produced by Trina Kakacek and Michael John Kelly.
