Barrel of Monkeys Presents Final THAT'S WEIRD, GRANDMA Matinee Today, 5/27

BOM matinee performances of "That's Weird, Grandma" feature all the originality of the evening performances. Some matinee skits will include "Spider Monkey", where a pack of monkeys with spider powers, led by a cool monkey, escapes and has fun on the town, and "Stupid" about how name calling can inspire surprising alliances.

Barrel of Monkeys, a Chicago-based arts education theater ensemble, conducts creative writing workshops with students from underserved Chicago public schools and turns their stories and words into professionally-performed theater, presented both in-school and through a weekly review for the general public called "That's Weird, Grandma". BOM performs more than 300 student-written stories for the students in their schools and 150 stories on the stage of TWG each year.
