Barrel of Monkeys is on the lookout for volunteers to help run front of house for our weekly, critically acclaimed show "That's Weird, Grandma" performed in Andersonville.
The show is a collection of stories written by Chicago Public School students and performed by professional actors. It is great for ages 5 to 105.
We are looking for volunteers who can commit to 4 or more shows in a row from 7pm-9:30pm to help sell merchandise. Volunteers also get to see the show during that time too.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Mission Statement
Barrel of Monkeys (BOM) is an ensemble of actor/educators who 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 performances of their work.
Description
Barrel of Monkeys (BOM) is an arts education theater ensemble that works with some of the most under-served students in Chicago. BOM achieves its mission by:
- teaching fundamental creative writing skills;
- providing a safe and supportive learning environment;
- building self-esteem and confidence in children;
- adapting stories written by children for the stage by professional actors;
- and presenting a smart, funny theatre experience.
BOM’s programming is comprised of three branches: our in-school residency program , an after-school program , and public performances . While each of these branches of our programming is essential to our mission of empowering the youth of Chicago with their creative voices, our school residency program is the core work of our organization.
