Barrel of Monkeys Holiday Show
Those crazy kids over at Barrel of Monkeys like to teach creative writing in the Chicago Public Schools. When they're done, they take the stories, and, word for word, produce them into short and hilarious performance pieces. For a mere $10 for adults and $5 for kids (coupon available online for $2 off) you can watch, listen, and laugh to their show That's Weird, Grandma every Monday night at 8 p.m. at the Neo-Futurarium, located at 5153 North Ashland Ave. (at Foster). And right now, starting tonight and running until January 3, come see the "Very Special Holiday Show" of T.W.G. For Tickets, or more information, call them at 312-409-1954. It's all about the children!
