Event Details

Back by popular demand! This show received such a great response 2 years ago that we are bringing it back.

Union-Tribune language columnist Richard Lederer and musical comedian Bill Shipper team up to deliver a delightful double dose of wordplay in music and song. These two verbivores present memorable musicality, rhythmic rhymes, tons of tonality, and heaps of hilarity, all with gracious grammar and alluring alliteration.
 
Celebrating the crazy world of the English language with topics such as musical idioms, wordplay, and limericks, DANCES WITH WORDS is truly learning dressed up to have fun. 

This San Diego Oasis event is free to attend thanks to the generous support of the Friends of the Mission Hills-Hillcrest/Knox Branch Library.
