That's Weird Grandma
TWG Weekly Update
Ah, the blank canvas that is both this empty square (no more!) and the infinite possibility before us now that 320 new stories are eligible to be in That’s Weird, Grandma.
You see, Celebration of Authors, which was on Tuesday, marks the end of our school show season and so all the fine theatrical pieces we created during the year are now eligible to be in That’s Weird, Grandma.
What I’m telling you is that Monday night’s show is going to be packed with fresh, hilarious and new material that you will want to come experience.
Take The Vegan Vampire for instance. Super.
or
The Poor Old Lady. A little nutty, right? Well our resident Musical Director has transformed it into a song NOT TO BE MISSED.
Also, we welcome back to the stage not one but TWO company members returning from afar. They are top talents.
They are Erica Halverson and Ricardo Gamboa, Esq.
Erica is one of the founders of Barrel of Monkeys. Ricardo is the 9th most popular Chicago native on Facebook.
If you’re strapped for cash (who isn’t?!) you can say, “vegan vampire” at the box office to get $2 off your ticket.
You will like it.
