Chalmers. Yes.

School Shows

Whoa. My last blog entry was for the last Chalmers show, and I also blogged for the one before that.

This is because I love Chalmers.

The last time I taught there, the children gave me candy and jewelry AND watermelon gum.

Chalmers is the school that gave us “Bad Car,” and “Kung Fu Guys,” “The Dance of Yousail,” “The Servant’s Skills,” and “Me and My Boyfriend Having a Nice Time Until the End.”

Chalmers is the school Jonathan and Eric chose for their Monkey swan song.

Chalmers is where a child asked Mikala, “You need a man?” and where another child said, “Kristie, you was raised by black people, weren’t you?”

We’ve been at Chalmers for most of the past decade. It’s a school where the oldest kids greet us like family because we’ve been there for ten years and taught their older brothers and sisters, who are now in college! When a Monkey says the word, “Chalmers,” she says it with respect.

And that’s why it’s so, so, so cool to be doing a Chalmers show with FIVE newly cast Monkeys. New Monkey Brenda can be seen here getting hazed by Joe. 

New amazing stories will take their place in the Chalmers canon. New things will be said. New memories will be made.

One of these memories will be of an evil cat lady. Yes!
