A free, family-friendly improv spelling bee event at Halifax Central Library.
Kids Fringe: Spontaneity Spelling Bee is coming to the Halifax Central Library on Sunday, September 6, and it's exactly what the name suggests: a spelling bee run on improv. If you've ever watched a proper spelling bee and wondered what would happen if the rules went out the window, this is that. It's built around the kind of spontaneous comedy that works best when you don't know what's coming next, so the whole thing is made up as it goes.
It's a family-friendly one, which means it's as much for the kids as it is for the adults. The library is a great spot for it, too — easy to get to, right in the heart of the city, and a place where families already hang out. Since it's part of the Kids Fringe, it's geared toward a younger crowd, but the improv side of things keeps it from feeling like a school assembly. The whole point is the unpredictability, so you'll get plenty of laughs whether you're there with your kids or just coming along for the ride.
