Barrel of Monkeys is going on our annual company retreat this weekend to Wisconsin.
Here is a picture of Elizabeth and I shopping for it at Costco.
Okay, on with the business. The show on Monday will feature old classics like Friends as well as new classics like El Pinguino Azul (The Blue Penguin).
Also, The Midwest Theater Revue recently created a video of one of their favorite pieces currently in the show.
Greats like My Argument Why Kids Should Ride Motorcycles and Untitled (Basketball & Puppies) are going strong.
Now we have two new pieces to add to this rockin’ run. They are…....
1. El Pinguino Azul - a touching musical piece about a blue penguin that doesn’t do anything on the ice.
2. The Family of the Future- A family can’t get back home (to the future) because the dog ate the blueprints to the time machine!!!
How will they ever get out of such a pickle?!?!
There are many reasons to come see That’s Weird, Grandma this week (a great cast and great stories, “all thriller, no filler” as we like to say), but I will focus on two reasons, in particular - the two new stories.
The first is Disco Girl from last year’s poetry show. I highly recommend reading it as it is quite enjoyable and so that you are familiar with all the nuances ahead of time.
Now, the second piece we are adding this week is something of a classic.
It has been performed in TWG before and is also on our CD Monkeys Come Alive
It is called “Friends” and it just might be the original “new piece with words and movement”. It is accompanied by a My First Sony sfx machine.
You have been warned.
See you there!

Full running order and story links after the jump.
It’s on!
Monday night’s show will have a great, new cast and it’s chock full of the ole song and dance!
Come visit this Magical Place. You don’t want to miss it!
Some of the brand new pieces you will see are:
Super Hero Story (Red Wolf/Captain Shirt) - friction with a bossy Captain Shirt causes Red Wolf to stick up for herself.
Untitled (Gymnastics) - friction with a bossy cheerleader causes Sonia to give it all she’s got in the pyramid.
Untitled (Basketball & Puppies) “Basketball and Puppies. Does it get any better than that?”
You can buy tickets here.
Full running order after the jump.
The Monkeys have been intensely rehearsing over the past few weeks to bring you a very special “That’s Weird, Grandma.” “Fun O’Clock: A Very Special That’s Weird, Grandma” starts TONIGHT! It’s bigger, louder, and special-er than any “That’s Weird, Grandma” ever performed!
