The New BOM Agreement

School Shows

In keeping with the recent tradition of rehearsing shows during historic, winter weather, the cast of the Loyola Park show has begun rehearsing during the week of single-digit temperatures.  The snow that fell during the first rehearsal set a new record for total snowfall in Chicago during the month of February – 26 inches.  (It should be noted that the vast majority of that fell during the CEA rehearsal process, but the record is cumulative.)  All of this weather led director, Lacy Campbell, to establish a new Monkey agreement: “No making fun of other people’s winter gear.”  The cast has done a nice job of following this, and all the other agreements, and deserves some Monkey-Bucks… Joe…?

After two days of excruciating labor, nearly every story has been adapted.  We’ll finish tonight, and then begin the difficult task of polishing each performance so that it does each writer’s work justice.  The level of awesomeness in each journal is magnificent, and the cast is doing its best to match it.  Loyola Park authors, you’ve set the bar quite high!
