Check Out Family Friendly Improv with Storytown at Lickity Split Ice Cream Parlor as Part of Pivot Arts Fest

Join Storytown Improv At Pivot Arts Fest 

For A Sweet Adventure

Storytown Improv will be performing a special show at Edgewater’s favorite ice cream stop, Lickity Split, on Sunday June 12 at 11am.  The frozen treat store will provide the perfect backdrop to Storytown’s mix of music, theatre and comedy, where the children run the show and get to decide the fate of their heroes and heroines.

The show is part of Pivot Arts Fest: the annual celebration of innovative performance throughout Chicago’s Uptown and Edgewater neighborhoods. The festival includes performances of live music, puppetry and new plays throughout the area.

Storytown Improv founder and Artistic Council for Pivot Arts member, Jill Olson, said: “Pivot Arts has a mission to raise awareness of the arts and support local businesses in the Edgewater and Uptown neighborhoods. Improv and ice cream seemed like the perfect partnership for a summer Saturday morning.”

In this fully interactive, improvised adventure with Storytown, performers will use audience suggestions and ideas for the characters and storyline. The show is best suited for children aged 3-10 years old, along with their whole family.

Tickets cost $10, and are available HERE through Brown Paper Tickets

Storytown becomes the canvas for their imaginations. We honor, embrace and elevate their ideas.
