Radio Play: The Adventures of Karate Man, Patrick Kim
presented by Hanut31 – Theater & Gallery

Hanut31 tells the immortal story of secret agent Patrick Kim and his thrilling adventures. Patrick Kim was the fictional secret-agent star of more than 300 books, published by eight different writers, in Israel from 1960s through the 1980s. The pulp fiction work, Inspired by James Bond and Bros Li films, combines Cold War drama, Karate fighting, and sex.

“He’s huge, he’s tough, He’s flexible, he’s firm,
His chest erects like two iron shields,
His tough muscles bounce like bunnies,
He’s a lean, mean fighting machine!
The name is Kim. Patrick Kim.”

Midnight Radio’s Frankenstein
presented by Bricolage Production Company

It’s Alive! But, what is it? A monster? A mistake? 200 years after it was brought to life, Midnight Radio reanimates Mary Shelly’s masterpiece, Frankenstein, like you’ve never seen or heard it before!

Go back in time as the company spins the horrific tale of a tenacious young scientist hell-bent on recreating human life. A creature born so hideous, he was forsaken by his maker and shunned by society. Watch Frankenstein’s monster come alive with Foley sound effects, vintage commercial spoofs, and a dizzying array of vocal acrobatics!
