Statewide civic-improv comedy tour looks to bridge divides in Minnesota communities
The Minnesota Humanities Center is partnering with a local improv production company to host a civic-improv comedy tour.
In each city or town, Danger Boat Productions will produce a unique event that brings residents together for meaningful conversation about their hometown.
It encourages participants to reflect thoughts and feelings through improvisational comedy to promote dialogue, bridge divides and work across differences.
Applications are open through Friday for Minnesota communities to apply. Trygve Throntveit with the Minnesota Humanities Center and Tane Danger with Danger Boat Productions joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about the Sketches of Minnesota tour.
