Trollin' the Mitten

Trollin' the Mitten

Whether you consider yourself a Michiganian or a Michigander, you'll love Trollin' the Mitten! Join Aral Gribble, an (almost) lifelong Michigan "troll" and LCC student, as he combines improv, spoof, skit comedy, and radio theater to both poke fun at and celebrate the Great Lakes State. From the Isle Royale National Park to the Gordie Howe International Bridge, Trollin’ the Mitten is bound to rock the docks and shake the shores in at least four out of five Great Lakes!
