TWG Weekly Update
This new round of TWG opened with such a pleasing show (that was also a tad on the short side) that I decided not to take out ANY of the plays from last week. All those greats can be seen tonight.
Oh, but hang on. We got a new order of t-shirts in and…wow.
Attendees of tomorrow night’s will behold the largest selection of Barrel of Monkeys t-shirts with the new logo there has ever been. Over time, the supply will dwindle to the point where you are deliberating over the purchase of a 3XL orange t-shirt thinking, “I guess I could wear it as a night shirt?”. But be there tomorrow and you will have myriad colors and sizes to choose from.
I helped select the colors of the shirts. Unless you don’t like them, in which case the printer gave us the wrong colors.
But I think you’ll like them. At least ONE of the colors.
We also put two new stories in the show-
Superhero Story (my mom) - which is a beautiful song about a great mom in honor of Mother’s Day.
Long Lived the Two Friends- a rags to riches epic about two skydiving buddies.
The password this week is “parachute”.
“Parachute” uttered to Brad at the box office = $2 off admission.
See you there!
Full running order if you would like to…

ALERT. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN NEW AUTHORITY TO INVENT A “PASSWORD” WHICH WILL SAVE YOU $2 AT THE BOX OFFICE ON MONDAY NIGHT.
READ THIS BLOG TO discover the password and to learn about our play.
Well, after resting on our laurels for 3 weeks, we are back in action Monday night.
SIX new stories are premiering in the show this week. Truthfully, four of them are brand new to TWG and two are making a comeback tour.
Having Curtis and Dixie in the show, I couldn’t resist bringing back an old classic- The Day I Thought a Man was a Monkey
The other classic tale coming back was inspired by the return to Chicago of company member Anthony Courser. The story to which I’m referring is also the password….
The Destroyer
Actually, the password is just “Destroyer”. But you can say “The Destroyer” and still get the $2 off at the box office. Either one.
We have a gorgeous and enthusiastic cast, we have some story gems and Chris Mathews is making his That’s Weird, Grandma debut!
So much fun to be had for EIGHT dollars. Destroyer.
Be there! By tickets here.
Full running order after the jump.

Whoa!
You go away to have a baby and LOOK how many new stories are in the show when you come back.
Even I, who have witnessed the greatness of TWG a time or two, can’t wait to see this show!
There are some classic stories from DEEP in the archives making their return, while other brand new beauts grace the TWG stage for the first time.
Remember: There’s a performance on BOTH Sunday (2pm) and Monday (8pm), so attend the one that is most pleasureful to your schedule. But do it, because there’s only one more of these double whammy show weekends then…darkness (for 3 weeks).
