Called Ho’larious! By NOW Magazine,”Politically Incorrect, and Funny” by Chicago Tribune and “Highly Recommended” by the Chicago Reader the hugely successful show revolves around four pimps who took an improv class at Second City by accident and decide to moonlight. The groups’ complete lack of political correctness and their outrageous costumes are only part of the reason they are so popular. Tribune Reporter Glenn Jeffers wrote in his review: “… for 45 minutes, I laughed. Flat-out laughed.”
Created by Oak Parker Marz Timms, PIMPROV has been entertaining and shocking audiences for nearly 15 years.

2019 SUMMER DROP-IN PROJECTS AT BEAD IN HAND
Wear a caterpillar, have fun with rings, catch a sunny butterfly, or get all “bubbly” this summer. Bead In Hand offers a choice of bracelet projects during it’s Summer Drop-In times, between 3 – 6 pm Thursdays and Fridays, June 13 through August 16.
Suitable for ages 9 and up, projects include a bead and ring wrap bracelet or a caterpillar bracelet. $12 per item includes instruction and materials. Under age 9 are welcome with an accompanying adult, or make a beaded bubble wand or butterfly sun catcher ($5 per item for ages 5 and up).
The bead and ring wrap bracelet is a simple pattern using waxed linen, size 6/0 seed beads and finished with a button and loop closure. It’s also a great travel project, since no special tools are required. The caterpillar bracelet takes a little more hand/eye coordination, but once that’s mastered it works up very quickly! Allow 20 to 30 minutes per project.
Bead In Hand is located at 145 Harrison Street, Oak Park. 708.848.1761, www.beadinhand.com.
