That's Weird Grandma
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:

You guys, it’s hot outside in the summer in Chicago. And when it’s hot, do you know what you need? A little fan in your face!
Without spoiling too much, I think I can say that you will find “Untitled Fan Argument”, the newest addition to “That’s Weird, Grandma”, delightful. It’s an argument with a musical number in the middle. It will feel so so so so so good.
Full running order after the jump. You WILL like it.
We almost sold-out last week. Advance reservations (by calling 312-409-1954) or buying your tickets in advance encouraged.

Tonight’s show is going to be awesome.
I can hear your internal monologue:
“But Heidi, you ALWAYS say that”
True. And I’m always right. However, tonight I’m even more right since one of our student authors is coming to see his story!
Which author? You’ll just have to come to the show to find out! (Although I did already hint that it’s a boy. I’ll give another hint: he’s one of our after-school program students)
Two new stories this week: Ghost Friend and The Baby Man. It’s also the first week for a new cast (including the “That’s Weird, Grandma” debut of Tim Simeone, Tim Soszko, and John Hall).
99% inspiration, 1% funny Hats.
Full running order after the jump.

I wrote this post this morning, and then it got swallowed by our internet troubles at the office.
(ever considered making a donation to Barrel of Monkeys? We could use it!)
I’ll try to recreate: We’ve added two new stories this week, both are Untitled. The first is a fascinating introduction to price theory, a small lesson in basic economic theory about how to set prices at your basic car factory that sells cars and boats with flags. The second is a happy memory of when an Uncle dunked a basketball. Both are delightful!
Oh, and for those who keep track of these things, “The Cowboys Who Fighted” has been in the longest of the current run.
Full running order after the jump, with any luck.
