All season, Keen Company has been revisiting classic radio plays through starry benefit broadcasts. For our last fundraiser event of the series, we are thrilled to present one of the Golden Age of Radio’s most successful serial mystery programs, Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. This quick-witted noir detective story ran for 12 years and over 800 episodes. 

Tune-in to the intriguing case of “The Clever Chemist Matter” from America’s fabulous freelance insurance investigator. A simple change to an insurance policy leads to disastrous results when a scientific genius is killed, his partner is blinded, and the laboratory door is found bolted from the outside. This sounds like a case for the man with the action-packed expense account, Johnny Dollar

Tickets to this benefit broadcast support Keen Company’s Hear/Now audio theater season, as well as Keen’s Playwrights Lab for mid-career writers, and Keen Teens which serves students in all five boroughs of NYC.
