Braham – Sketches of Minnesota

August 12 @ 5:00 pm - 8:30 pm CDT

Free
Sketches of Minnesota - Braham Area

“Braham, MN: Dynamic. Friendly. Engaged!”
Join the Minnesota Humanities Center, Danger Boat Productions, and Arc Retreat Community for the Sketches of Minnesota civic improv comedy tour! These free events use laughter and comedy to celebrate Minnesota communities, promote dialogue, bridge divides, and help find ways to work constructively across differences in today’s political environment.

Beginning with a catered meal, these gatherings invite audience members to share what makes their town great, what they think people get wrong about it, what local divisions concern them, and what future they imagine. An improv comedy troupe listens in on the conversations, takes everything they heard from residents, and brings it to life on stage through entirely unscripted improv comedy theater.

  • 5:00–6:00 PM: Doors open / Community hour
  • 6:00–7:15 PM: Dinner
  • 7:15–8:00 PM: Performances
  • 8:00–8:30 PM: Talkback

Host Partner: Arc Retreat Community

The work of the Minnesota Humanities Center is to create a stronger Minnesota by increasing our understanding of the beauty, wisdom and stories of its people. Through partnerships, we facilitate the spaces, like Sketches of Minnesota, that seek to build connections and deepen understanding of ourselves and our communities in pursuit of a more just society.
