Get the chance to write your own show this summer and watch your words come to life on stage!
Mill Mountain Theatre presents “Mad Libs Live!” a tour, traveling across the greater Roanoke Valley. Audiences will get to make each show different by controlling the show’s lines – just like in the famous “Mad Libs” book series.
Our story begins at the finals of Teen Superstars, the live TV show that will determine the most popular singing group at Blankville Central High. Virtuosa, Gogo, Geyser, and Merrily seem to have nothing in common – until just before airtime, when they realize that their songs are missing words! In the spirit of the “World’s Greatest Word Game,” our gang fills in the blanks with words from the audience! This truly interactive musical changes at every performance – thanks to you! Will GoGo get the girl? Will Geyser make new friends? Will Merrily come out of her shell? Will Virtuosa get out of the spotlight? And who will be the next Teen Superstars?? There is only one way to find out: Mad Libs Live!
The cast of “Mad Libs Live” will feature collegiate performers from all over the country and will welcome Roanoke as their home for just over a month.
“Mad Libs Live” is part of Mill Mountain Theatre’s initiative to connect theatre to literacy. Free books will be available for audience members to take throughout the performance.
Performances for “Mad Libs Live!” will take place from June 13th through July 14th touring the Roanoke Valley. Tickets for this event are free. For more information and tour locations, visit millmountain.org
