That's Weird Grandma

The character Monica was so popular from “Monica’s Special Christmas” by Freda H. of South Loop Elementary, we added a second Monica story: “Santa and Taco Bell” by David H of the Avondale School. Both Monicas will be played by the lovely and talented Annie Calhoun. Other exciting news: making an appearance as “Vixen”, Company Manager/Stage Manager Maggie Fullilove Nugent.
