That's Weird Grandma TWG Weekly Update

We have a great lineup for the closing show of Chicago’s Weird, Grandma.  I’d like to thank all the participants for taking the time to adapt our students’ stories into exciting pieces of theatre!

Joining the fantastic Barrel of Monkeys cast are our landlords THE NEO FUTURISTS and the return of ABOUT FACE THEATRE!!

Here are their stories.

SNOW STORM
By Michelle S. Farnsworth Elementary
One day I was in a snow storm. I was by myself. It was very scary. I remember it because I got lost in my own back yard. I tried to get home but it was very hard. My mom was worried. Then I had a hot bath and had hot coco.

THE MONSTER MASH by Ethan B., Paderewski
There was a Monster named Zane and his alien friend Craze.  The monsters were weird they eat brains and throw watermelon and knit.  One day the monster and alien ran into each other and they were stuck.  They were stuck for 10 milleniums but one day an awesome smart wizard named Deeerrrikkkk came and gave them a potion to unstick them.  And the wizard charged them 20 million but they couldn’t pay so they were blasted 1, 000, 000 years into the future when they were old smelly and OLLDD and they did not remember anything ever again.

For discounted tickets say “Deeeerrrikkk” at the box office.

“That’s Weird, Grandma” will reopen January 7th.  We can’t wait to see you there!
