Support the MAD LIBrarians!

Because we want to welcome lots of kids and families, many of our MAD LIBrarians performances are Pay-What-You-Can.

About the Series

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.
