Swoop Scoop

Warm nights seem to slip by faster and faster with only photos to help you remember them, if even. Take to Lake Michigan (or the high seas if you have an active imagination), grab a drink and make your night memorable with today’s Swoop: $33 for a two and a half hour live performance cruise and a $10 drink voucher on the Tall Ship Windy (a $55 value). Choose from the following dates:

• Friday, July 27: Thee Bluebeard Show
• Friday, Aug. 3: Another Pint
• Friday, Aug. 24: Aaron Wilhoft

• Sunday, Sept. 2: Pirates of Penzance
• Saturday, Sept. 8: Pirates of Penzance

The owners of the Tall Ship Windy bring you aboard for entertainment on Lake Michigan. Each night two and a half hour sail will bring you aboard for live improv, theatre or music, whichever you prefer. Thee Bluebeard Show is a live, late-night improv-comedy talk show. You or your friends could be invited to be the special guest on the show, or just enjoy laughing as someone else takes the stage. Another Pint is a Celtic music group that gives you a taste of Irish, Scottish, folk and bluegrass. You’ll feel like a true Irish sailor as you listen to (and maybe drink) Another Pint. Aaron Wilhoft is a Chicago-based songwriter that combines rural and urban styles of music. He’ll sing some of your favorite American classics and his soulful originals. Or choose a night of music, theatre and pirates with the Pirates of Penzance. This Gilbert & Sullivan operetta is performed throughout the ship, all around you, as the characters, stories and music come alive. A night of laughter and music can only be made better by putting it on a boat. You’ll see the city skyline at night from the 148-foot Tall Ship Windy. Your ticket includes a $10 drink voucher to be used at the full bar onboard with liquor, beer and wine to choose from. So get a pint, set sail and enjoy the show.
