About the Play
Watch top-notch improvisers light up the stage, while your kids’ faces light up!
At each one-of-a-kind show, kids in the audience make up new book titles and then the MAD LIBrarians hilariously off-the-cuff stories to go with the kids’ titles.
Capacity is 25-30. Ticket reservations are not needed, it is first come, first served.
MAD LIBrarians shows are FREE. If you’d like to donate to support the show and its artists, please do so here.
