A BOM Halloween
Posted by Amanda Farrar on November 3, 2009
For this Halloween, Barrel of Monkeys played at the Chicago Cultural Center’s Hallowed Halls Halloween celebration! On Saturday morning, Barrel of Monkeys worked with about 40 kids in costume in a writing workshop and performance.

A group of Fairytale Characters and Creatures wrote and performed a story about two fairytales! In one, everything was splendid. In the other, a dragon and dwarf crushed the princesses and ate the kings. A cat with good reflexes, a Monkey King, and The Grand Master save the day. For now…

The Superheroes wrote and performed a story about overcoming a mass of bad guys, which included the dreaded Bowser! The story concluded with a well deserved celebration with pizza, hot chips, and pop.
(Mario and Luigi have come across Bowser before!)
The Monsters and Witches wrote and performed a story about a haunted house with a ton of ambushes, but at the end, at the snap of a finger, everything was turned back to normal.
(So many scary kids!)
The afternoon concluded with a performance of “That’s Weird, Grandma” to a crowd of more than 300 families!
What a great way to spend Halloween.
What did YOU do?!?
