GUEST DIRECTOR FOR THE PEA IN THE POD

That's Weird Grandma TWG Weekly Update

This week, A Very Special Grandma includes a piece conceived by BOM Company Member and Neo Futurist Kurt Chiang.  Kurt originally adapted “The Pea in the Pod"by Daryn B for the Graham Elementary School Show, directed by Company Member Meredith Milliron.  This surreal piece of clown theatre makes its TWG debut tonight, featuring orignal cast members Joseph Schupbach, Carly Ciarrochi, Brandon Cloyd and Tom Malinowski.  On Sunday, we were lucky enough to have Kurt join us to direct the piece, and hope you will be moved by its poignancy, rawness, and use of saw.

Additionally, Untitled (Girls Club) by Nicole M of Stockton, has been added to the Weird lineup.  Orignal cast members Jennifer Johnson, Elizabeth Levy and Emjoy Gavino light up the stage with Meredith Milliron, Ricky Harris and Tai Palmgren joining in for this light hearted look at young girls’ empathy toward their ailing colleague.

Come join the fun! For discounted tickets, say “Banana Split” to Kassi at the Box Office.

Worst Pet Ever

That's Weird Grandma TWG Weekly Update

We’re not always happy with what we receive for gifts.

This is especially true in the newest story to the “That’s Weird Grandma” Holiday Special.  Rebka T from Stocknton wrote “The Worst Pet Ever.”  Jason Sperling made it into a song, and we will be performing it TONIGHT in the show.

My first pet ever was a fish.  The worst pet ever is my fish because all it does is swim and eat and go through rocks.  That’s why it’s the worst pet in the whole wide world.  It was so boring because it does nothing at all.  I wanted to have adog, but my parents said no.  It would’ve been fun but it wasn’t.  It was really, really, really, really boring.  That’s why it’s the worstest pet in the world.

Share your idea of the worst pet ever with Kassi at the box office for a discounted ticket!
