Mashing up literature and improvised comedy, the Leland Township Library and the Tilt Think Improv players present: LitFlix. In this interactive show, the improv players create stories and scenes made-up on the spot based on inspiration from the audience. Whether it’s taking a familiar story and shifting the genre (think Pride and Prejudice as a SciFi) or re-creating a little-known fiction novel based on an audience volunteer’s description, we guarantee a fun, lively, and highly inaccurate re-telling. Covid precautions: This program will take place outdoors on the lawn at the library (please bring something to sit on!) and everyone is welcome. There is no cost to attend and registration is not required.
