Vision: A radically kind Chicago that champions children’s ideas
Barrel of Monkeys is an arts education that teaches creative writing and theatre to 3rd-5th grade students in Chicago Public Schools. The stories written by our students are then adapted into sketches, songs, plays, and videos in an effort to celebrate and amplify the voices of young people.
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.
