That's Weird Grandma TWG Weekly Update Touring Performances

Chicago’s Weird, Grandma will feature Sideshow Theatre Company on December 10

Here is an interview between you and Barrel of Monkeys’ Artistic Director, Molly Brennan:

You: Tell me about Sideshow Theatre Company.

Molly: “Familiar Stories, Unorthodox Methods, Perpetually Curious” is the motto of this young Chicago Company.  It is the mission of Sideshow Theatre Company to mine the collective unconscious of the world with limitless curiosity, drawing inspiration from the familiar stories, memories and images we all share to spark new conversation and bring our audience together as adventurers in a communal experience of exploration.  This mighty and amibitious mission has created such works as “Dante Dies (and then things get weird)” “Heddatron” and “The Gacy Play”. 

You: What will Sideshow Theatre Company bring to the adaptation process that is unique?

Molly: Passion, grittiness, and intensity.  Get ready, Grandma…it’s gonna get REALLY weird.

Here’s their story:

I BELIEVE SANTA CLAUSE by Alejovera, Columbia Explorer’s Academy
My first reason is because he is a man and he lives in the North pole, my second reason is I found pieces of white hair in the floor. My third reason is that I found, at night, presents under the tree. In conclusion, I believe in Santa clause. The End

You: How else can I experience Sideshow Theatre Company if I like what I see or want to know more?

Molly: For future Sideshow events, check out their website.
