Storytown

Thumb_storytown

From superheroes to undersea adventures, princesses to dinosaurs, Storytown takes you on an interactive, fully improvised adventure! We use your suggestions and ideas to create a different story every week. Kids design the setting and help shape the story, and our actors, artists, and musicians bring it to life! When the possibilities are endless, no two stories are ever the same. We’ll see you in Storytown!

iO is also here to help with your young one’s birthday. A special focus of this new show will be dedicated to creating “FANTASY BIRTHDAY PARTIES.” Through the use of improvisation, there are no limitations to the creation of a special fairy tale created around the birthday boy or girl in front of her friends and family, The guests are allowed to bring food and arrive early for their celebration and are invited to call ahead for reservations to plan their event.


Director: Andrew Ritter

Artists:Cynthia Bangert, Ryan Ben, Amanda Cohen, Kimberly Franck, Jonathan Matteson, Johanna Meyers, and Lindsay Monahan

Musical Direction: Tara Trudel and Dan Wessels
