Described as What could become Minnesota's answer to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, The Theater of Public Policy (T2P2) combines Improv Comedy with thoughtful conversations to help make even the biggest ideas make sense.
Using live on-stage conversations with newsmakers and big thinkers, T2P2 sheds new light on important topics through improv comedy theater.
Each night:
We interview a leading thinker on a big issue or thinky topic
Inspired by the conversation, our cast of Twin Cities most talented improvisers take the stage with longform improv comedy. Our expert guest answers questions from the audience
The show wraps up with more no-holds-barred unscripted comedy
With Special Guest:
Jennifer Leimaile Ho, Minnesota Housing Commissioner
From the core of the Twin Cities, through all the rings of suburbs, and, yes, out in rural parts of Minnesota, there is one issue virtually every community in the state is struggling with: housing. The lack of affordable housing has reached crisis levels in many parts of the state, and homelessness rates are on the rise. Beyond the basic need for shelter, housing informs where businesses operate, who can afford to live in certain communities, and even our individual impacts on climate change. We will solve all these problems in 90 minutes or less with Minnesota’s housing commissioner, Jennifer Leimaile Ho.
