Please register in advance. It is free to participate in this event. Seating capacity is 120.
The evening will begin with a meal – catered by The Falls Ballroom – and facilitated conversation, asking audience members to share what makes Little Falls great, what they think people get wrong about it, what local divisions concern them, and what future they imagine. The improv troupe will listen in on the conversations and take everything they heard from residents and bring it to life on stage through entirely unscripted improv comedy theater.
