Grandma June's Sewing Circle is thrilled to enter their fifth year as an ensemble performing their signature brand of smart humor (think moon landings, first loves, a man in diaper and David Lee Roth) at the Apollo Theater Studio stage this summer on Monday nights.
In addition, they will be performing with special guests every week, including their first guest, Big Baby, May 12th and May 19th.
Where: Apollo Theater Studio Stage
When: Mondays at 8pm, starting May 12th
How much: $15, $12 for students (Think two shows for the price of one!)
For more info:

GJSC is Chris Bragg, Mike Gillett, Sherra Lasley, Matt Lovin, Matt Micou, Melanie Sampson and John Sviokla. GJSC is directed by Brian Posen.
Big Baby is Joe Phillips, Anthony Oberbeck, and Jack Farrell, by height. They have improvised with each other for over a year. They have lived together for almost a year. They recently wrote a sketch show and made Mike Maltz direct it. Mike Maltz is their friend and roommate. He's probably a little before Joe in the list, but just barely. Anthony speaks Spanish and Jack can't breath. One time they all Googled "Google" and someone's cancer was cured.
Other upcoming guests...
May 26 & June 2 - Gerta

June 9 & 16 - Long Pork
June 23 & 30 - The Pub Theater Co.
July 7 & 14 - Jack Smack

July 21 & 28 - Fried Green Durbins
August 4 & 11 - The Cupid Players
(directed by Brian Posen)
August 18 & 25 - The Geekouts!
