InterAct Story Theatre is delighted to announce the return of a fan-favorite, interactive forum theatre experience for kids and families, weekends September 26—October 5, 2025 at the MC Cultural Arts Center in Takoma Park/Silver Spring.

Bob the Monkey is the smartest monkey in the land, and they want everyone to know it! Bob the Monkey wants what they want and they want it NOW! But…why is everyone mad at Bob? Bob didn’t do anything! In this play created just for early childhood audiences, kids and families follow Bob’s madcap misadventures and help Bob figure out where they went wrong and got in trouble monkeying around. Led by InterAct Story Theatre’s Artistic Director Ali Oliver-Krueger, audience members make suggestions about how Bob could do things differently, and watch Bob and friends role play out their ideas. Can Bob flip the script and turn things around? Can Bob make things better by making better choices? Does it work? What happens next? Best for ages 4 and up.

This production is supported in part by a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC.org). Also, supported in part by Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County, the Montgomery County government, and the generous support of a legion of donors and partners. Thank you for supporting arts for kids and families in Maryland!

Tickets are available at Eventbrite: https://bobtail.eventbrite.com or at the door based upon availability.
