School Shows

OH MA GOSH, THE GRAHAM SCHOOL SHOW IS OFF THE HOOK.

I know what you’re thinking. “Zoe, I can’t even begin to process how awesome a school show might be right now because I’m too excited about the That’s Weird, Grandma! 10 Year show and how all of my old monkey friends are in town this weekend to celebrate! Sheesh!” You guys, I get it. But lets take a moment and focus on the trees right in front of your face and not the (secret) forest that is the weekend ahead of us.

Graham is a brand new school and the kids are SO great. They had never heard of BOM before we walked into those two fourth grade classrooms back in January, way before the Blizzard of 2011 hit (omg can you even remember a time before that happened!?), but they were 100% into it from day 1. Their commitment and excitement about the program helped produce such new classics as “The Unknown Baby” by Ina J. where a girl named Alice is sent a life changing Christmas present or “The Eatin’ Contest” by Mauricio A. set on Jupiter that has been turned into a bizarrely beautiful song that stars a Cat, Justin Bieber and a Dragon adapted by the musical genius Laura Mackenzie.

Other exciting moments you can expect at the Graham show include some very elaborate costumes for the piece “Everyone Gets Married”

Or some “earth shattering” prop usage for “The Big Giant”

A killer rap with mad beatz all about oranges!

And even the return of the classic KOOL-YUM! OH YEAH. 

So much to see! I know what you’re probably thinking now, “Zoe, you’ve almost sold me, but I don’t want to start off my exciting weekend with too much violence. Are there any guns in the show? I REALLY don’t like guns.”  Don’t worry, dear reader, the only weapons used in this show are snow cone cones, an unseen rifle in a truck off stage, a spoon, a metaphysical bomb, a teacher’s chainsaw and a hobo. So, tomorrow morning, set your alarm to AWESOME (9am) and join us at Graham Elementary for some pre-reunion good old fashion monkey fun!
