It is with the utmost honor and unbridled elation that we write the next few words: The Rep and Loblolly are having another ice cream contest.
Are you done jumping up and down? Good. Now listen.
To coincide with their upcoming production of “Mary Poppins,” the Arkansas Repertory Theatre is once again teaming up with Loblolly Creamery to create another specially themed ice cream flavor to be served during intermission at the theater and at Loblolly’s home in the Green Corner Store. This time, the flavor will be a sweet cream with brownie chunks.
Just like the extremely popular “Rep-permint Chunk” flavor (seriously, it was insane) from the holiday “Elf”-based competition, this one will work the same way.
Fans can submit a name for the flavor anytime from Wednesday, Feb. 11 to Sunday, Feb. 15. The initial submissions will be narrowed down and the top five will be announced on The Rep’s Facebook page. From there, the name with the most “likes” will get a pint of the special flavor with the winning name on it and two tickets to see “Mary Poppins.”
Got it? Good. Now think.
You have some time to work on a name, so make it count. We’ll be back with updates closer to the contest date. Good luck.
