TWG Weekly Update
Let’s face it: technology is a hot topic. We are a society frantically trying to keep up with new technological inventions. Just getting or experiencing a new technological interface is the zeitgeist. This hardly leaves time to assess whether our new device or app or robot is good or actually improving our life.
Fortunately, Jose from Avondale School has pondered the tough questions for us in his argument-
I think we should have babysitter robots.
He weighs the good and the bad- efficiency vs. human connection, taking vs. deferring responsibility for one’s children… it’s all there.
Also, this is your last chance to see this particular cast performing these particular stories. I know the show changes every week, but certain cast members will have their last show on Monday and so certain popular stories will likely leave the show.
Have you seen, for example, The Model? Good Days? I am a Dragon?
Popular, great, not to be missed.
Be there.
$2 off at the box office by saying, “babysitter robots”

The star train is off and running. This week we add-
Monster Avenue. Its a big glorious musical number with tap dancing ghosts. Tap dancing ghosts!
Also, we are adding Untitled (Lunch Lady Slob).
It starts with the stage direction: (slob drop). What happens after that? You will have to come and witness…
$2 off password at the box office is going to be “slob drop”, naturally.
Here is the order of events and amusements-

Friends of the internets,
That’s Weird, Grandma continues to swell with greatness. We took out Untitled (Beach) because, let’s face it, does anyone even know who Demi Lovato is anymore?
I don’t. But I never really did. Demi, we never knew ya.
Joining the show this week are:
I am a Dragon
And
The Limo Party. The Limo Party has a lot of celebrity appearances, but they are more recognizable celebrities to a 20-37 something crowd than Demi Lovato.
I’m sorry, Demi Lovato. I don’t know what you did to deserve my ambivalence on this blog post, except star in a Disney Channel show I’ve never seen cause I can’t afford cable.
Password for $2 off this week is “Demi Lovato”.
Be there.

Friends and fans even remotely considering seeing TWG tomorrow,
You should.
I’ve just come from our Sunday morning rehearsal. We’ve rehearsed the two new stories that will premiere on Monday night and they are great.
First we have Untitled (Cave with Cats) where nearly every species of cat, plus a bird pouncer, live in a cave together.
Then, there is Good Days, a dialogue from Dixon school where Lil D and Lil JJ ask Shreana and Micah to go to the movies. The girls are reticent at first, but then decide to go and all is well.
Plus, if you say “Good Days” loud enough for the people at the box office to hear you, your ticket is $2 off.
You will like it.
