Theater of Public Policy is an improve troupe that does political humor. I think that comes across pretty well in this promotional photograph.
Do you enjoy topical political humor presented in the form of improvisational sketches focused on the civic events and traditions of the nation’s 32nd state, which happens to be named Minnesota? If you do, well, big news.
Tonight, the UpTake will present a live video feed of the Theater of Public Policy’s improv show at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs in Minneapolis. The press release for that event is below, as is the live feed which The Uptake has made available to MinnesotaBrown. If you can’t make it in person for any reason, (maybe you’re one of those “Greater Minnesotans” everyone keeps talking about!) why, golly, you can watch it here.
The Theater of Public Policy (T2P2) brings its one-of-a-kind mix of wonk and comedy to the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. T2P2 uses improv comedy to unpack and reimagine policy and politics. The Star Tribune describes it as “C-SPAN being suddenly swarmed by the cast of SNL”.
State Representatives Nick Zerwas (R-Forest Lake) and Dan Schoen (DFL-Cottage Grove) will join T2P2 for a 2015 legislative update—straight from the Donkey and the Elephant’s mouths. Show Host and current Humphrey School Student Tane Danger will interview Zerwas and Schoen about the current legislative session, politics in Minnesota more generally, and where lawmakers go to the bathroom now that the capital is under construction.
The cast will then bring the whole conversation to life through entirely unscripted improv comedy. It is certain to be an unforgettable night at the Humphrey School! This event is free and open to the general public, but registration is requested. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., show starts at 7 p.m. Please note, seats are first-come, first-served.
This event is co-sponsored by the Theater of Public Policy and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs.
Here is the video feed, which will commence at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015.
I’ll add the archive link as soon as I can after the fact.
