Barrel of Monkeys' THAT'S WEIRD, GRANDMA: Back To School to Run 8/17-9/7 at the Neo-Futurist Theater
Clever and funny - touching and poignant - the collection of short sketches featured in THAT'S WEIRD, GRANDMA are equally entertaining for adults and children. The line-up in the long running, critically acclaimed revue changes each week by audience vote, so no two shows are ever the same.
Barrel of Monkeys, a Chicago-based arts education theater ensemble now in its 18th season, conducts creative writing workshops with 3rd through 5th grade students in underserved Chicago Public Schools. The ensemble of actor-educators then turns their stories and words into professionally performed theater, presented both in-school and for the general public through its revues. Barrel of Monkeys annually performs more than 300 student-written stories for the students in their schools and 175 stories on the stage for the general public.
