Matinees are Running Now: Don’t Miss Em
Posted by Amanda Farrar on January 22, 2014
“That’s Weird, Grandma” offers a limited number of Sunday matinees each year, and they are starting NOW! I can’t tell you how many times we get calls after the matinees are concluded asking when there will be more. Friends, it’s a once in a year opportunity, and your opportunity is now!
Matinees are especially important to catch if you have youngsters who are in bed by the time we hit the stage at 8pm on Monday nights. “Sketch comedy” is not usually synonymous with “kid friendly”, but here is where Barrel of Monkeys’ performances are unique! Everything we perform is written by 3rd-5th graders from underserved elementary schools in Chicago, and the show is completely appropriate for all ages. Children aged 5 years and above will an extremely rewarding experience. If you are looking for some cutting edge, yet family friendly theater, we have shows all year round!
“Edgy and children’s theatre are terms that do not usually butt up against each other in a review…but [Barrel of Monkeys] is edgy children’s theatre that rivals anything done by and for grown-ups that comes out of those larger purveyors of Chicago-style sketch comedy.”
