THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT IN 2026! Check back here next year to see 2027 dates.
About:
A wordless story of wonder, kindness, and play.
Lookingglass Theatre and Actors Gymnasium team up once to again, as part of the Chicago Park District’s Night Out in the Parks, to bring this free, original, circus-infused story that showcases the transformative magic of a simple act of kindness. Plus, ice cream, hooray! Conveyed without spoken language through dance, clown, and circus, Ice Cream Circus! is designed for all generations and for all language backgrounds.
What To Know:
-
A neighborhood Ice Cream vendor will be at all shows.
-
We encourage audiences to bring your own blanket and/or chairs to the parks.
Recommended Age: All ages
Sponsors: ComEd Powering the Arts | Marc, Maureen, and Elana Schulman
Ice Cream Circus! was inspired by workshops with over 600 Chicago Public School students and community members including Communities in Schools Chicago, Chicago Help Initiative, Boys and Girls Clubs of Chicago, Trumbull Park Line Dancers, Austin Town Hall Cheerleaders, PODER, and students at Dyett High School for the Arts, Solorio Academy High School, and Palmer, Hurley, Tilton, Parker, New Sullivan, Libby, Webster, Mozart, and Earle Elementary.
A special thank you to our teaching artists who led these workshops: Molly Bunder, Jean Carlos Claudio, Claribel Gross, Laura Murillo Hart, Ariya Hawkins, and Risha Hill.
