Two new stories this week: ‘Attack of the Russian Army’ and ‘Going to the Party’
We’ve been having pretty big crowds recently, so consider buying your tickets in advance or making a reservation.
Full running order after the jump.

Tonight’s show is going to be awesome.
I can hear your internal monologue:
“But Heidi, you ALWAYS say that”
True. And I’m always right. However, tonight I’m even more right since one of our student authors is coming to see his story!
Which author? You’ll just have to come to the show to find out! (Although I did already hint that it’s a boy. I’ll give another hint: he’s one of our after-school program students)
Two new stories this week: Ghost Friend and The Baby Man. It’s also the first week for a new cast (including the “That’s Weird, Grandma” debut of Tim Simeone, Tim Soszko, and John Hall).
99% inspiration, 1% funny Hats.
Full running order after the jump.

I wrote this post this morning, and then it got swallowed by our internet troubles at the office.
(ever considered making a donation to Barrel of Monkeys? We could use it!)
I’ll try to recreate: We’ve added two new stories this week, both are Untitled. The first is a fascinating introduction to price theory, a small lesson in basic economic theory about how to set prices at your basic car factory that sells cars and boats with flags. The second is a happy memory of when an Uncle dunked a basketball. Both are delightful!
Oh, and for those who keep track of these things, “The Cowboys Who Fighted” has been in the longest of the current run.
Full running order after the jump, with any luck.

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Know what gets a full week back at work off to a good start? Seeing Barrel of Monkeys, of course!
Because of the holiday, we didn’t have a rehearsal this week so the show is the same as last week. Which means it is really really good. Also, tomorrow (Tuesday) is the first of our three special summertime matinees. We’re expecting a really good crowd tomorrow, but could use some more folks for the 15th and 22nd. We hear often that 8pm on a Monday is too late for the little ones, so we encourage you to play hooky from whatever usually keeps you occupied at 11:00am on a Tuesday and join us at the Neo-Futurarium. Tickets are, of course, available in advance.
The running order for tonight and tomorrow is after the jump. We’ll change it up again for next week, never fear.

Company Members School Residencies
We have been extremely fortunate for the last three years to have Dixie Uffelman as our Program Director.
(Dixie is second from the left)
The sadness at Dixie’s imminent departure from the office is, however, tempered by the excitement at having hired Elizabeth Levy as our new Program Director.
More after the jump!
