About Me

Barrel of Monkeys is an ensemble of actor-educators whose mission is to create an alternative learning environment in which children share their personal voices and celebrate the power of their imaginations. BOM accomplishes this through creative writing workshops and in-school performances of children's stories. BOM also engages the broader community in support of the visions of children through public performance of their work.

Barrel of Monkeys' public show "That's Weird, Grandma" shares the stories of children with the general public every Monday night at 8pm at the Neo-Futurist Theater, 5153 N. Ashland Ave., Chicago IL. Call 312-409-1954 for tickets.
