Barrel of Monkeys does amazing work in the Chicago Public Schools, and has a great Monday night show. I am proud to know their leaders and think the organization has a lot of potential for the future.
Barrel of Monkeys has changed the lives of so many kids in underfunded school programs - given them a chance to express and experience their creativity, fully realized by talented, energetic, and enthusiastic performers, teachers, and role models. It is the best thing I have ever been involved with in my life, and the results are in the kids' faces when they watch each performance of their original story.
