Set during the height of the Cold War, a spaceship and its crew become lost following a disastrous rocket booster explosion. It is up to two rogue scientists Richard and Sally to sift through government conspiracy, coverups, and politics to finally solve THE CHALLENGER.

Act 2

These are excerpts from the original 2025 concept album. The actual show currently runs 3.5 hours long with full score and dialogue, calling back to the “epic” musicals of the 1980s.

Twelve-year-old Nils Olsen lives in the coastal town of Svendborg in Denmark with his sensible but unremarkable parents. His life is orderly and predictable, and excitement is in short supply—until his eccentric and largely withdrawn grandfather, who lives in the family’s garden shed, gives Nils an unexpected birthday present.

The gift is a ship. Well, not a ship exactly, but the materials to build one: weathered planks, timber, and an idea that borders on the impossible.

Reluctantly, Nils’s parents agree to let him and his grandfather work on the project in the garden, certain it will be short-lived. They assume the scale of the task will overwhelm him and that the ship will never be finished.

They are wrong.

As the vessel takes shape, Nils discovers a determination he didn’t know he possessed, and what begins as an unlikely construction project becomes the first step toward a life-changing adventure.

The full score of the Captain Skimp series grew out of more than fifteen years of live, improvised storytelling with children aged 4–12. Through his part time work—first in kindergarten and later as a schoolteacher—Jonas Præst Nielsen recorded over 300 sessions, letting characters, worlds, and stories emerge naturally through play and interaction with the children. This improvisational process became the creative backbone of the series. As Nielsen says, “I didn’t write the story—the characters did.”

Jonas Præst Nielsen is a Danish composer and musician who later expanded into writing and storytelling. His musical background shapes the series’ distinctive music, rhythms and cinematic sound universe. For his Cinematic Audiobooks, he has received several grants from the Danish Arts Foundation, AUTOR, and KODA, supporting productions that combine artistic authenticity with a high, technical quality of sound design.

A man walks into a governmental agency. He needs a permit. But his request is unusual and complex. It doesn't help that his name is very hard to spell. There are gonna be some forms that must be filled out so that he can accomplish his mission. How many forms? Lots. Will it take a long time? To fill out the forms?...yes. No, will it take a long time to get all the approvals? Yes. Can't things be expedited? That only slows things down.

The award-winning Spectral Silhouette Radio Show is a musical audio drama/podcast produced in the Chicagoland area by Henry Scherrer and Matt Winkelman. It combines the pulpy noir spirit of programs from the golden age of radio with modern sensibilities and style. Part comedy, part mystery, all fun, Silhouette is a labor of love from a great group of actors, musicians, and crew members. The show is performed live every two months and both nights sell out within hours, sometimes minutes. We have a full stage production with an audio engineer, sound effects engineer, fifteen actors, and a jazz band with horns. It's a one of a kind experience, mixing the feel of a jazz club with a stage show full of mystery, laughs, ghosts and more. Our show has grown a lot over the years. What started as a one off production became twenty six episodes, four minisodes and forty two original songs. We even have our own beer, Puzzle Club (a delicious ruby rye ale), from the fine people at Skeleton Key Brewery. We are now on our fourth season, and look forward to producing more installments in the years to come.

Monty and company investigate the disappearance of a famous actress. The stakes get even higher when another actress goes missing prompting the detectives to step into the brutal world of big dreams and silver screens. Fearing they've been kidnapped by a killer; the detectives find themselves in a race against time to discover the starlets whereabouts before their final curtain calls. Pirates, laughs, casting agents, thespians, and more in this exciting installment of The Spectral Silhouette!

Exhaust is a dark, intimate play set during the early years of the Holocaust. Over the course of a single drive, two Nazi drivers talk, argue, joke, and circle around the reality of what they are doing. What begins as routine conversation slowly reveals a much more dangerous landscape beneath it: fear, guilt, survival, cruelty, and the desperate need to keep functioning inside a system built on murder.

As the journey continues, their sharply different ways of coping begin to collide. One buries himself in detachment and procedure; the other is haunted by memory and unable to fully look away. Their exchanges shift from mundane to menacing, from bitterly funny to deeply unsettling, exposing not only the machinery of violence around them but the fragile, compromised humanity still flickering inside it.

Tense, claustrophobic, and morally unflinching, Exhaust confronts the banality of evil head-on. It is a play about what people do to survive, what they choose not to see, and what it costs to keep moving forward when stopping feels impossible.
