For this Halloween, Barrel of Monkeys played at the Chicago Cultural Center’s Hallowed Halls Halloween celebration! On Saturday morning, Barrel of Monkeys worked with about 40 kids in costume in a writing workshop and performance.
(Jason Sperling and Laura Grey with a Hallowed Halls attendee.)
A group of Fairytale Characters and Creatures wrote and performed a story about two fairytales! In one, everything was splendid. In the other, a dragon and dwarf crushed the princesses and ate the kings. A cat with good reflexes, a Monkey King, and The Grand Master save the day. For now…
(Rachel Wilson and Jason Sperling meeting the Fairytale Characters and Creatures.)
The Superheroes wrote and performed a story about overcoming a mass of bad guys, which included the dreaded Bowser! The story concluded with a well deserved celebration with pizza, hot chips, and pop.
(Mario and Luigi have come across Bowser before!)
The Monsters and Witches wrote and performed a story about a haunted house with a ton of ambushes, but at the end, at the snap of a finger, everything was turned back to normal.
(So many scary kids!)
The afternoon concluded with a performance of “That’s Weird, Grandma” to a crowd of more than 300 families!
What a great way to spend Halloween.
What did YOU do?!?
