Jimmy Jenkenheimer: Adventure Super Master

Who's Ready For an Adventure?

In November of 2024, Shackleton Theatrics debuted it's flagship production, Jimmy Jenkenhimer: Adventure Super Master.

This was the playwrighting debut for lead producer Park Lytle and the longest most ambitious project produced by Shackleton Theatrics to date. Jimmy Jenkenheimer was a 2 year process of writing, workshopping, and finally staging for a professional debut. When Jenkenheimer finally opened it was met with a sold out audiences throughout the entirety of its limited run. Jimmy Jenkenheimer remains the standard for all Shackleton works moving forward and the goal for any and all collaborators working with Shackleton hoping to get their works off the ground.

Jimmy Jenkenheimer is our ambitious, though unrefined Adventure Super Master, a hero with the power to travel into any piece of literature by striking himself as hard as he can in the head with the book's cover. Using this secret skill, Jimmy leads his companions into the world of educational broadcast television (a cross between Reading Rainbow and The Crocodile Hunter.) This literary safari however, is hijacked by Jimmy’s bitter rivals, The Lobster Handed Krew. As Jimmy is forced into a game of cat and mouse through numerous works of classic fiction, he has to make a choice between protecting his friends and confronting the wounds of his past.
