About this Event

If you’ve read the news in the past several months, it might seem like the world is on fire.

In this rendition of The Theater of Public Policy, we’ll chat with diplomats and policy experts about the state of global affairs, and why so many people seem to be having them.

During an onstage conversation, we’ll dive into the war in Iran, America’s place on the global stage, and the non-zero chance that our next Secretary of State will be an AI-generated chat bot. Afterwards, some of the funniest improvisers in Minnesota will perform unique, spontaneous comedy scenes about these international insights!

It’s a one-of-a-kind combination of real analysis and real laughter that you won’t want to miss. Reserve your tickets today!

What is the Theater of Public Policy (T2P2)?

A civic comedy institution is returning at a moment when people are overwhelmed by serious issues and exhausted by bad public conversation. The Theater of Public Policy (T2P2) uses humor to take the pressure off of serious conversations, sparking real conversation and helping audiences see issues in new ways.

Here’s how it works:

• Shows open with a lively conversation with a newsmaker or policy wonk.
• That conversation inspires a team of Minnesota’s most talented improvisers, who create entirely spontaneous sketches based on the interview.
• The expert guest then answers questions from the audience.
• The show wraps with one last round of improv from the cast.
• It’s a totally unique blend of learning and laughter — and each show only happens once. Seeing is believing, so get your tickets to the next T2P2 show today!
