The Smithsonian Center for Folk Life says “Bil Lepp is a side-splittingly funny man” and Michael Feldman from Whad’Ya Know says “He’s terrific…fantastic…he’s a good one!” You can learn how storyteller Bil Lepp “lies well” on Saturday, February 20th at 10:00 am at the Downtown Library. Then treat yourself to the Ark’s 23rd Annual Storytelling Festival that same evening. The library partnered with the Ann Arbor Storytellers’ Guild for this wild workshop.
