Description

Barrel of Monkeys, a Chicago-based arts education theater ensemble, conducts creative writing workshops with 3rd-5th grade students in underserved Chicago Public Schools and turns their stories and words into professionally-performed theater, presented both in-school - and for the general public through its weekly revue. The line-up changes each week by audience vote - so no two shows are ever the same. April 5-26.
