This isn’t as good as the comics produced by our Loyola Park kids (i.e. Attack of the Mashed Potatoes), but I liked it anyhow. Our logo has come to life…

That's Weird Grandma
Tonight’s show is going to be awesome.
I can hear your internal monologue:
“But Heidi, you ALWAYS say that”
True. And I’m always right. However, tonight I’m even more right since one of our student authors is coming to see his story!
Which author? You’ll just have to come to the show to find out! (Although I did already hint that it’s a boy. I’ll give another hint: he’s one of our after-school program students)
Two new stories this week: Ghost Friend and The Baby Man. It’s also the first week for a new cast (including the “That’s Weird, Grandma” debut of Tim Simeone, Tim Soszko, and John Hall).
99% inspiration, 1% funny Hats.
Full running order after the jump.

I wrote this post this morning, and then it got swallowed by our internet troubles at the office.
(ever considered making a donation to Barrel of Monkeys? We could use it!)
I’ll try to recreate: We’ve added two new stories this week, both are Untitled. The first is a fascinating introduction to price theory, a small lesson in basic economic theory about how to set prices at your basic car factory that sells cars and boats with flags. The second is a happy memory of when an Uncle dunked a basketball. Both are delightful!
Oh, and for those who keep track of these things, “The Cowboys Who Fighted” has been in the longest of the current run.
Full running order after the jump, with any luck.

First, I just realized that I never posted about last Monday’s running order. So sorry! There were two new stories: The Funny Man and Fartacine.
Second, sadly we will not have a matinee this next Tuesday. The first two were big hits, this one was, it seems, a harder sell.
Third, I am proud to announce that next year we will have a whole lot more matinee performances than ever before! It’s a long time off, but mark your calenders anyway. In April and May of 2009 we will have Sunday matinee performances -8 of them! - at a kid friendly time. We will of course have a lot more to say about this in the future.
I hope your summers are going well, things are quiet with the monkeys as we gear up for another exciting school year.

Kellogg School of Management is conducting a study of how and why people participate in the arts. We believe the results of this study will help organizations like BOM understand their audiences better.
If you have 15 minutes to take a survey for the arts, please click here
If you are skeptical, I’ve included more information below. Also, everyone who takes the survey has a chance to win $100 in PlayMoney (that’s 10 performances of TWG!!!)
More information after the jump!
TicketNetwork has the best in theater tickets, including Cirque du Soleil: Wintuk tickets, The 39 Steps tickets, La Cage Aux Folles tickets, A Life in the Theatre tickets and much more!
