That’s Weird, Grandma: Holiday Party! features adaptations of stories written during PML’s creative writing residencies in Chicago elementary schools. PML’s ensemble of professional actors, comedians and musicians bring the young authors’ stories to life as raucous sketches, songs and movement pieces, performing first for students in their schools and then for the public. These stories – from hilarious dialogues between unlikely characters to poignant pleas for social change, along with holiday-inspired stories that resonate with adults while celebrating the imaginations of young people.

DID YOU KNOW “That’s Weird, Grandma” is both a Public Performance AND a Fundraiser that directly supports PlayMakers Lab’s work in Chicago Public Schools as we promote creative writing, confidence, and literacy?!?! Your simple act of buying a ticket and/or donating helps us bring incredible arts programs into our public schools that need us the most!
