That's Weird Grandma

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.

How could you resist this*?

The full running order is after the jump, and as always you can buy your tickets online.

Reminder: There is no Monday night show on December 22nd. We have added a matinee on Saturday December 20th, and tickets are going fast.

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!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with lots of good cheer!

It’s December now, which means TWG is getting into full holiday mode. We’ve added two stories this week, both holiday favorites. First, of course, the song “The Time I At a Christmas Ball” which we trust is more dramatic than any of your holidays. We’ve also put in “A House”—you’ll want to keep track of all those elves!!

I know monkey fan, I know. It’s been a hard three weeks without “That’s Weird, Grandma” to spice up your Monday nights. But never fear! The show is back, and we’re not taking another break for months and months.

There’s a great runlist for this week’s show, as you can see we’re starting to work some holiday stories into the mix. By the time we get to the special holiday matinee (December 20th, buy your tickets early!) all your favorites should be back.

Buy your tickets online for this or any other week. As a special welcome back from hiatus, use the secret code “Hans the turkey” for a two-for-one discount. 

In other news, this week we welcome back our former House Manager Jon Quinn, who spent the last six months working on a campaign. Luckily his efforts paid off, and we’re thrilled he’s back in Chicago for a while and promise not to make him fold too many programs.
