Things are really rolling now in the first round of the 08-09 school year. The cast is fully in the swing of things, and it’s a great time to come check out the show.
Two new stories this week, the heartfelt anthem “The Boxer” and the fab-u-lous “Robo-bot” both of which are making their TWG debuts. Full running order after the jump.
Buy your tickets online so that you don’t have to mess with making change.

As you probably noticed, it rained a little this weekend. That did not keep our intrepid actors away from rehearsal, though they all brought umbrellas.

Rachel’s is particularly colorful:

Mary Winn even brought pizza:

Luckily the rain didn’t get into the theater, and they were able to add two new stories for your viewing pleasure. First, a dialogue set in Hawaii will transport you to a drier climate, and second “The Lady That Don’t Know What to Write” details some common frustrations for writers. Of course, fan favorites like “Astronauts” and “You! Can’t! Win!” are still there for your delight and pleasure.
I forgot to mention last week that it was the lovely Mary Winn Heider‘s first performance in TWG. Let’s give her a warm welcome with an enthusiastic audience!
Full running order after the jump.

Hi Monkey fans. Tai here. How’s your weekend going? That’s good to hear. Oh, me? Well, I had TWG rehearsal this morning. Donnell took a little video. What’s that? Sure, you can see it. But I will warn you, it may frighten cats and/or coworkers:
(RSS readers, I haven’t yet figured out how to get video to work in feeds. So click on the title. You won’t be disappointed.)
That’s just a taste of what you’ve been missing if you haven’t been to TWG lately. Check out Monday’s full running order after the jump. As always, it’s a good idea to buy your tickets in advance.

Last weekend the BOM company spent some quality time in Wisconsin at our annual retreat. It was a truly delightful weekend full of puppets, four square, and the annual BATTLE OF THE MONKEY STARS (among many other valuable and bonding activities).
Because we spent the weekend learning new skills, debating new ideas, and bonding with each other, we did not change any of the stories in tonight’s show, and thus the running order remains the same (and is detailed after the jump).
Here’s some proof that we were working hard…

...but also had some fun:
