Barrel of Monkeys, a local arts education theater ensemble, is kicking off its 16^th season with the 12^th year of its long-running, critically acclaimed revue That’s Weird, Grandma.  The show was conceived and written by Chicago Public School students and adapted for the stage and performed by Barrel of Monkeys Company Members while being directed by Artistic Director Molly Brennan.

“Barrel of Monkeys was very busy this summer – from Celebration of Authors in Hyde Park to Theater on the Lake to Family Fun Festival at Millennium Park – the ‘Monkey Madness’ never stopped,” comments Brennan.  “After catching our breath for a week in September, That’s Weird, Grandma is back!  We are excited to debut brand new stories never before seen on the Grandma stage, as well as brand new actors  joining our seasoned veterans! Join us celebrate our 12th year at the Neo-Futurist Theater!”

That’s Weird, Grandma plays Mondays at 8 pm from September 9 – October 7, 2013 at the Neo-Futurist Theater, 5153 N. Ashland Ave. in Chicago.  For tickets, reservations and information visit www.barrelofmonkeys.org or call (312) 409-1954.
