Big changes a brewin’ here at Monkey HQ.
This is the last performance with this cast. Next week, an almost entirely new cast will grace the stage. Whenever, there is a big cast change over like this, a lot of stories end up leaving the show. It’s just how it’s done around here. SO, come see the show this Sunday, as who knows what stunners will be appearing for the LAST TIME.
Also, this will be the last chance to get your very own, limited ediiton, BOM fridge magnet as your prize. Next week, the prizes will be new. Tattoos. So, that’s gonna be cool too. BUT, if you’re like me you could always use another fridge magnet. And kids like magnets too. Let’s face it. They demonstrate one of the great mysteries of the universe: magnetism.
Two awesome pieces are joining the action this week. One is old as time and one is new as spring.
The Geek - a rousing musical moment from the year 2001. Remember it?
Prison Break - a brand new dialogue that the monkeys have never performed! Be there for its debut and so much more.
Buy tickets here.

Ka-Bloom!
TWG Matinee-style is cominatcha once again.
A new winner called Spiders makes its premiere .
This poem is both funny AND sincere (WHAT?????). It examines the many reasons Dejah does NOT like spiders.
Also, there’s one more sweet review we got from Steadstyle Chicago, which I forgot to mention last week.
Also this could be one of your last chances to see the ever popular Today I Am So Mad and 10th Date, as these Valentine’s Day pieces, while awesome, are SO mid-February 2010.
Be there.
Tix Here.
Running order down there.

Hey!
Check out these sweet reviews the show has received recently from Gapers Block and Chicago Theater Blog!
We’re at it again this Sunday at 2pm!

We’re Back!
A brand spankin new round of TWG opens Sunday, February 7 @ 2pm.
We have some BRANDED, never-before-distributed prizes to give out.
Some ole greats remain in the show, but for how long?!
Don’t worry, a certain piece about a fantastical milieu where you can remain indefinitely is still in! phew.
In fact, that piece is on the verge of challenging for the title “longest running story in TWG”, rivaling Kung Fu Guys and, naturally, The Dog was Dead.
Okay. The NEW pieces going into the show this week are:
Mask Lady parts 1-3 in which Gracie, who lives in castle, causes trouble all over the globe.
The sincere Graffiti Argument about why there shouldn’t be graffiti.
And…finally…an old classic returns. The Girl Who Ruined Her Sister’s Life.
Get Ready! (by getting your tickets here).
Running order is below.

This is it, people:
your last chance to see That’s Weird, Grandma on a Monday night until Mid-March!!
By THEN the show will be nearly unrecognizable from what it is currently, so you’ll want to make sure to see it.
FYI, a 9 week run of TWG matinees begin Sunday, Feb. 7.
But back to reasons to see tonight’s show-
Well, my mother and two of her sisters are coming to the show, so let’s pack the house so that they go away thinking, “wow, my son/nephew is part of a REALLY popular theater experience!”
But most of all, you should come see the show because we’re putting in a new story called Maxie that’s hilarious and all the other greats are still in as well.
AND special guest Elizabeth Levy will be joining the cast and she’s got some CHOPS!
Buy tickets here. You will like it.
