The Great Carson City Lit Fest is a three-day celebration of the arts, with the focus on books, authors and literacy. More than 50 critically acclaimed authors, poets, performance poets, memoirists and storytellers will give readings, panel talks and sign their books.

The Misfits Theater Group presents "A Travel in Time or They Eat A Lot," an original play written and directed by Gail Gundersen.

Our hero believes in time travel and decides to travel forward some 200 years. He "makes a wrong turn" and ends up hundreds of years in the past somewhere in Nevada with the ALOT Tribe.

When they are threatened by the evil Red Headed Giants, the hero helps the tribe formulate a plan (one, that according to legend, a tribe actually used) to defeat their enemy.
