MONKS
October 20 – November 8, 2026
In this monastery of mayhem, nothing is sacred….
The monks who reside in the hilltop monastery have always lived in total isolation. But when the Abbott ventures into town, two medieval Brothers seize the chance to invite a wagon full of strangers into their austere abode.
Across this one-hour clown epic, the monks’ daily rituals — counting lentils, caring for their donkey, and keeping the monastery from collapse — become the quest of a lifetime.
Accept their invitation and step inside this shockingly dumb, interactive journey, packed with daring physical comedy, unbridled chaos, and every possible interpretation of the word “ass.”
“Wickedly funny and surprisingly poignant, MONKS could be the next great success story.”
