What's Happening!

Great Ice Cream Scheme or Robin Baskins to the RescuePop Sicle's Ice Cream Parlor serves the BEST Ice Cream in town, thanks to his secret recipe known ONLY to him, to his sister, Nana Peel, and to his adopted son, Robin Baskins. When that cold-hearted villain, I.C. Custard, decides to steal Pop's recipe, things get a little sticky.

Custard hires accomplice Parfait Deluxe, an ex-chorus girl and total klutz. Despite her shortcomings, Parfait is instructed to entice the recipe from Robin, but Robin has given his heart – and lips – to Marsha Mallow, the sweet young waitress Nana has just hired. (Their romance is enough to melt your heart!)

Employees getting locked in the freezer, a stage-struck prop man, a scoop of madcap characters, and a show-stopping fight all make The Great Ice Cream Scheme a delightfully flavorful show!
