That's Weird Grandma

This week is the first of what we at the office call “Round 5” of TWG. Basically from your point of view that means:

a) There’s a new cast!
Erick, Alex, Meredith, Tom, Dixie, Curtis and Rachel join returning cast members Brandon, Philip, Tai, Mari, Rani and Donnell.
This is a delightfully large cast after last round’s very talented small cast. Extra kudos to Philip who was the only musician for the last six weeks, and since it was his first time in the show he had a lot to learn and did it well. Erick and Curtis will join him on the keys this round.

b) There’s a new director!
Our lovely Artistic Associate Molly Brennan takes the directing reigns from Artistic Director Luke Hatton for the next five weeks. Luke will be back for the *matinee run* starting in April.

Of course, there are also new stories. “Kung Fu Princesses” makes it’s TWG debut and “Grandma” makes it’s first appearance since 2004. Don’t worry long-time fans, “Going to the Party” and “A Bad Day” are still in the run.

No, that’s not a tiny, animated bird on your windowsill singing you a love song.

That’s Barrel of Monkeys (aka BOM_Chicago) taking one step further into the ether by joining Twitter. Come and follow our tweets about all things monkey—arts education, theater, Kung Fu guys . . . We’re going to be learning so much about each other!

Excited? You should be.
