The Fourth of July Comes Early for TWG

That's Weird Grandma TWG Weekly Update

The Fireworks. The BBQs. The veggie burger glazed with beef juice because a hamburger was cooked in the same spot just before it.
If you’re me, these are the things you associate with the birth of this great, special, superior, love-it-or-leave-it nation.
At TWG, the celebration of our nation’s birth begins this Monday night. We won’t have rehearsal on July 3rd, so we have to put in the story about The Fourth of July now. It is called Fourth of July.
Now sometimes at BOM we get a little carried away and put stories into the show JUST because a holiday is nigh e.g. The Hot Fudge and the Elf.
Fourth of July is not that kind of story.
It is good. I would put it in the show even if it wasn’t the Fourth of July, but since it is (or will be) even better.
In it, actors play fireworks. How often have you seen that? You will.
If you say “piranhas” at the box office, you will save $2 on your admission ticket. I decided to put this information in the middle of the entry, so people don’t just skip to the end of the blog to save money without relishing my words.
Also, we’re putting in a piece called Ducks Follow a Kid. It is weird and funny.

Below is the running order.
