That's Weird, Grandma

Barrel of Monkeys' weekly showcase of stories runs every Monday night at 8pm, at the Neo-Futurarium in Andersonville. Come see what TimeOut Chicago calls “The best reason we can think of to live in Chicago on a Monday.”

BOM School Programs

Barrel of Monkeys' workshop/performance model puts students' ideas first. BOM facilitators conduct weekly creative writing workshops in each classroom over a six-week period. The sessions allow time for activities that stimulate creativity and build literacy skills.

Save the Date: Fancy Schmancy!

Barrel of Monkeys’ annual Fancy Schmancy Benefit will be Friday, October 17th at the Chicago Cultural Center

(event details are here)

In my biased opinion it’s the most fun you can have at a benefit: there will be a performance, some teaching activities, games, a live auction, silent auction, and many more surprises.

We also rely on it to provide more than one-tenth of our annual revenue. So please help support our work by attending! Besides, when else will you have the chance to wear a bridesmaid dress, or your fanciest hat, or that bedazzled t-shirt, or a powder blue tuxedo jacket, or all of the above? Fancy AND schmancy. (Don’t worry, if you attire intimidates you, we can help: there’s a special ticket price for those who’d like us to make them schmancy. And, of course, as “every idea is a good idea” regular work attire is perfectly acceptable).
