No boundaries: Gainesville Improv Festival plays all

Don’t you dare throw this lovely piece of literature that we call The Alligator away.  And I’m not suggesting that you go green and skip your pretty little feet on over to the recycling bin either. Save your newspapers; they could be used as the inspiration for one of this year’s performances at the Gainesville Improv Festival.
