CHICAGO, Ill. – (October 1st, 2009) – Grab your inside voice and your thinking cap because Robot vs. Dinosaur is going back to school with their latest show, Mrs. Gruber’s Ding Dong School. Directed by Robot vs. Dinosaur members Nat Topping and Greg Wendling, Mrs. Gruber takes its audience through thirteen sketches, each teaching a rather unorthodox lesson.
Inspired by children’s televisions shows of yore, as well as the ensemble’s own skewed childhood memories, the show is taught by Mrs. Gruber, a good-intentioned but not entirely lucid schoolmarm, and touches on a multitude of coming-of-age topics, including death, racism, squirrel bites and laser fish.
People of all double-digit ages will appreciate Mrs. Gruber’s Ding Dong School – inspired by kids, but written with grownups in mind.
More about Robot vs. Dinosaur: Robot vs. Dinosaur originated in New York and was brought to Chicago by Joe Janes in 2007, when he assembled a roster of writers and performers with a great deal of experience in the Chicago sketch comedy and improv scenes. The ensemble is a writer-centric group whose goal is to write and perform original comic material that is eclectic, dynamically staged and fun for audiences. Robot vs. Dinosaur consists of Mike Bauman, Geoff Crump, Joe Janes, Catherine Monahan, Chris Othic, Nat Topping and Greg Wendling. To promote comedy writing in Chicago, Robot vs. Dinosaur also hosts Robowriters, a weekly writer’s workshop.
