Serious Issues - Improv Comedy return to HUGE Theater We are extremely excited to announce a new season of The Theater of Public Policy (T2P2) atHUGE Theater. Our cast is gearing up to explore immigration, education, the 2012 legislative session, energy infrastructure, the environment, and a new Vikings stadium, through improv comedy. We hope you'll join us each Thursday at 7pm at HUGE Theater in Uptown Minneapolis. For those of you who have never been to a show, we use conversations with big thinkers on big ideas as inspiration for long-form improvisational theater.Each show opens on an interview with a leading policy maker or advocate on a particular issue. Our cast unpacks and re-imagines those ideas, debates, anecdotes, memes, and opinions, live and unscripted on stage. We have a terrific five-minute video (with guest Cris Farrell) that highlights what we do and why it's so fun and thought-provoking.
