The games we play features into the new show from The Central Illinois Figure Skating Club.

The games people play figures prominently in the latest show from The Central Illinois Figure Skating Club.

  • The spring show from the club is Saturday, June 10 from 6 to 8 PM at the Pepsi Ice Center in Bloomington.
  • The performances revolve around a games theme, with skaters enacting characters from Candyland, Monopoly, Super Mario Brothers, PacMan and more.
  • Instead of showcasing the skaters in individual performances, "Oh, the Games We Play!" has the skaters interacting with one another, making figure skating more of a team sport for this event.
  • The ages of the skaters range from early elementary school to adult.
  • Discover more about the Central Illinois Figure Skating Club on their Facebook page.
