With Kelsey Flynn

Kids from far and wide are invited to join improv comedian and PaintBox Theatre actor Kelsey Flynn for a morning of outdoor fun and shenanigans. They’ll spend their time together playing old-time favorites like sack races, three-legged races, and banana tag, and then wrap up their time together with an improv storytelling game involving one of the many iconic legends of Northampton–like the great Northampton National Bank Robbery of 1876! Participants will have the chance to re-tell their story together in small groups using a simple improv story structure with their own cast of characters they come up with on the spot. Then the fun culminates in a no-pressure sharing with a small audience of their family members.

Ages: First through fifth graders.
Limited to 12.
