You see them on the ballot. You might even hear about them on the news. They represent you in government, but do you know their names?

On this week’s edition of The Theater of Public Policy, we’re bringing three Hennepin County Commissioners to the stage to finally answer the question: “What is it you all do, anyways?” (Hint: it’s way more than you think).

We’ll talk about the fight to fund HCMC, how seven people decide to spend 3 billion dollars, and why Hennepin County is shaped like the lovechild of Utah and Michigan. Then, Danger Boat’s cast of improvisers will perform on-the-spot comedy scenes about everything they’ve heard.

This unique event is everything you ever wanted: a comedy show and an inside look into Hennepin County governance all wrapped up in one!

A civic comedy institution is returning at a moment when people are overwhelmed by serious issues and exhausted by bad public conversation. 

But what is The Theater of Public Policy (T2P2)?
- 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 one-of-a-kind mix of learning and laughter — and each show only happens once. Join us for our 20th season full of thoughtful insights and dynamic performances!
