About True Florida Tales
Billy Merritt will lead this evening with comedic improvisation based on fascinating stories about the weird but true world of Florida. No show from our True Florida Tales will be the same! Each show will have a guest story teller for the first act. Our second act will be the laughter filled improv from the stories. Audience members can participate when asked for suggestions based on the stories. You will be intrigued and definitely LOL.
