Reminder: there is no monkey show tonight! Sadness!
Our friends the Neo-Futurists have a wonderful show tonight, but there is no “That’s Weird, Grandma” performance. We’re back next week!
Thanks for being a monkey friend.

On Wednesday, a small handful of Monkeys gathered in the Andersonville office of Mightybytes to record the first batch of—
Wait, should I be talking about this? Has this been announced yet? Okay, don’t tell anyone, but it starts with a p and ends in odcasts.
More details about BOM’s latest media venture later, but for now, here are some photos of the recording session, courtesy of Mike’s phone:
Brennan in the recording booth, taking direction.
Oona, Elizabeth, and Tom in the booth (yes, it’s a closet). What you can’t see in this photo is that Elizabeth is standing on a stack of books so that she can reach the microphone.
Producers Mary Winn and Mike listening in.
Check back in the new year for some auditory treats from Barrel of Monkeys…

The holiday round of TWG is always one of my favorites, and you only have 4 more chances to see most of these seasonal stories before next year You will like it.

Now with even more holiday spirit!
This week is the first BOM show since June that doesn’t feature Astronauts (can you be-lieve it?). If this makes you sad, you can always ask us to bring it back after the holidays. In the meantime, we’ve added even more seasonal joy with “Monica’s Special Christmas Eve”.
In the spirit of valuing education, we’re also adding an untitled story about wanting to be a teacher—the first story we’ve added from our collaboration with the A.G. Bell Association last year.
As always, you can buy your tickets online in advance, or call 312-409-1954 to make a reservation.
Special reminder: We will not have a regular Monday performance on December 22nd. Instead, we will have a special holiday matinee on Saturday, December 20th at 2:00pm.
Full running order after the jump!
