First, I just realized that I never posted about last Monday’s running order. So sorry! There were two new stories: The Funny Man and Fartacine.
Second, sadly we will not have a matinee this next Tuesday. The first two were big hits, this one was, it seems, a harder sell.
Third, I am proud to announce that next year we will have a whole lot more matinee performances than ever before! It’s a long time off, but mark your calenders anyway. In April and May of 2009 we will have Sunday matinee performances -8 of them! - at a kid friendly time. We will of course have a lot more to say about this in the future.
I hope your summers are going well, things are quiet with the monkeys as we gear up for another exciting school year.

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Know what gets a full week back at work off to a good start? Seeing Barrel of Monkeys, of course!
Because of the holiday, we didn’t have a rehearsal this week so the show is the same as last week. Which means it is really really good. Also, tomorrow (Tuesday) is the first of our three special summertime matinees. We’re expecting a really good crowd tomorrow, but could use some more folks for the 15th and 22nd. We hear often that 8pm on a Monday is too late for the little ones, so we encourage you to play hooky from whatever usually keeps you occupied at 11:00am on a Tuesday and join us at the Neo-Futurarium. Tickets are, of course, available in advance.
The running order for tonight and tomorrow is after the jump. We’ll change it up again for next week, never fear.

We’re back from Milwaukee and ready to go! Kurt has promised to write more about the actual AG Bell performance and trip as a whole, so I won’t spoil it by revealing any of the details.
Luckily we all got back in time for rehearsal on Sunday and the show tonight. We’ve added two dialogues to the running order, and under the guest direction of Lauren Sharpe (Laura Grey is on a quick vacation) the show should be fantabulous. Full running order after the jump—and as always, you can buy your tickets online!
Also, remember we have THREE special matinees coming up in July! Tuesdays at 11:00, July 8, 15 and 22.

Hi!
It’s going to be awesome you guys. I mean, it’s always awesome, but every week I get to come up with another reason. Tonight it’s because it is finally really summer, and that means we’re going to have a good house. We’ve got 50 people on the books already (for a typical show we’d have about 20 reservations, theater capacity is 150), which means we’ll probably get about 100 people at the show. Which is awesome, because when there are a lot of people in the audience the show has extra energy. So, yes, you should come and make it an even bigger audience.
Also, we’ve added “The Crying Woman”, which is a child’s take on a famous folk tale, and is really amazing and moving. Full running order after the jump.

Celebration of Authors
It’s been an amazing week at BOM. Celebration of Authors was a fantastic show. We had our biggest house ever, at a big fancy theater, with a huge cast. The performances were great It was really wonderful. If you missed it, no worries! You can come to TWG tonight to see some of the stories we performed last Tuesday. Delightful! There are also some videos on YouTube that you really won’t want to miss.
After you’ve laughed at the ninjas and been moved by the appeal to stop the fighting, you’ll need to come to TWG. Full running order for tonight’s show after the jump. As always, you can buy your tickets online in advance with a credit card, or pay cash at the door.
