SUMMARY:Minneapolis - Sketches of Minnesota: Civic Community Comedy Tour
DESCRIPTION:MHC and the comedy team at Danger Boat Productions spent late summer and most of fall traveling to communities across Minnesota. They’ve taken stories from each town and put them into a hilarious sketch comedy revue. It’s like going along on the year-long Sketches of Minnesota road trip\, but you get to enjoy the highlights from the comfort of a theater seat…without the backseat driving. \nSketches of Minnesota is a traveling program designed to increase understanding and encourage conversations among people who might not know each other or have differing viewpoints\, by bringing neighbors together over a shared meal and improvisational comedy. These kinds of conversations are more crucial now than ever\, and we think that the program can facilitate essential healing within our Minnesota communities. \nSketches of Minnesota is presented in partnership with Danger Boat Productions \nRegistration\nThis event has been canceled. Please consider joining us in Minneapolis on March 11 or Rochester on March 13.

SUMMARY:Minneapolis - Sketches of Minnesota: Civic Community Comedy Tour
DESCRIPTION:MHC and the comedy team at Danger Boat Productions spent late summer and most of fall traveling to communities across Minnesota. They’ve taken stories from each town and put them into a hilarious sketch comedy revue. It’s like going along on the year-long Sketches of Minnesota road trip\, but you get to enjoy the highlights from the comfort of a theater seat…without the backseat driving. \nSketches of Minnesota is a traveling program designed to increase understanding and encourage conversations among people who might not know each other or have differing viewpoints\, by bringing neighbors together over a shared meal and improvisational comedy. These kinds of conversations are more crucial now than ever\, and we think that the program can facilitate essential healing within our Minnesota communities. \nSketches of Minnesota is presented in partnership with Danger Boat Productions \nRegistration\nThis event is free\, however registration is required. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org  \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Cuyuna Lakes - Sketches of Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:“Clear Lakes. Deep Woods. One Community.”\nJoin the Minnesota Humanities Center\, Danger Boat Productions\, and Clearwater Forest Camp and Retreat Center 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. \nBeginning 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. \n\n5:00–6:00 PM: Doors open / Community hour\n6:00–7:15 PM: Dinner\n7:15–8:00 PM: Performances\n8:00–8:30 PM: Talkback\n\nHost Partner: Clearwater Forest Camp and Retreat Center \nCommunity Partner: \n\n \nThe 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.
