SUMMARY:Survival is Insufficient: An Improvised Comedy based on Station El
 even by Emily St. John Mandel
LOCATION:Go! Comedy\, 261 E 9 Mile rd Ferndale\, MI 48220
DESCRIPTION:\"Survival is Insufficient\"\n\nThe talented improv comedy spe
 cialists at Ferndale’s Go Comedy club unleash laughs from contemporary lit
 erature every Wednesday in April when they take on Station Eleven\, a hit 
 dystopia suspense novel selected by the Ferndale Area District Library for
  their annual series of programming\, “Ferndale Reads.”\n\n“It’s really a 
 fantastic challenge\,” said P.J. Jakokes\, owner and producer at Go Comedy
 . “Usually\, for improv\, we get one or two words\, so to be able to use a
 n entire novel as source material\, is a gift.”\n\n“Ferndale Reads” is ess
 entially a book club hosted by the Ferndale Library with fun events for th
 e whole city! This year’s book is Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel\
 , which Vulture calls\, “Unmissable...A literary page-turner\, impeccably 
 paced\, which celebrates the world lost.” Ferndale Librarian Darlene Helle
 nberg organized a series of programs and arranged for several hundred free
  copies to be made available to anyone interested in participating in “Fer
 ndale Reads.”\n\nThis is the sixth installment of “Ferndale Reads” and Jac
 kokes along with several Go Comedy performers have prepared their own show
  charmingly satirizing the themes and plot points of the library’s selecte
 d book\, regardless of genre\, be it noir detective whodunnits\, horror or
  fantasy. “Each of the shows that we’ve done\,” Jackokes said\, “Have been
  as varied and unique as each of the books. We always try to weave in elem
 ents that people who have read the book will enjoy\, while still making it
  accessible to everyone.”\n\nStation Eleven isn’t your typical dystopia no
 vel\; in fact\, author Emily St. John Mandel’s work has been remarkable fo
 r its refreshing take on that genre. In the wake of a pandemic that devast
 ates civilization\, a Hollywood star\, a zealous prophet and a nomadic gro
 up of Shakespearean actors seek salvation across scattered outposts in the
  Great Lakes region. Go! Comedy will contribute a fun and inventive series
  of performances featuring their playful spoofs\, with a special series of
  shows\, entitled “Survival is Insufficient” starting Wednesday April 6 an
 d 13\, and Thursdays April 21 and 28  (each show starts at 9:00 pm). Ticke
 ts are $10 or $5 with a valid Ferndale library card. The FB link is incorr
 ect as the last two shows are on Thursdays\, not Wednesdays.
