These free events will 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 will 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 will listen in on the conversations\, taking everything they heard from residents and bringing it to life on stage through entirely unscripted improv comedy theater. \nThis event is one of the first seven tour stops. A culminating performance will take place later in 2024\, sharing stories from around the state.
