PlayMakers Events
20th Anniversary Gala
Celebrating 20 years of sharing the voices of Chicago’s youth through our signature production “That’s Weird, Grandma”.
The in-person viewing party will be taking place at The Annoyance Bar & Theatre in Chicago on August 5th, but the event is streamable from across the globe.
“That’s Weird, Grandma” began as a public show in 2001. Throughout the years, thousands of stories have been performed! Join us for a celebration of these young authors and their incredible words.
All proceeds for this event will support our arts-based creative writing residencies in Chicago Public Schools and expanding programs internationally.
