Project Overview

Hosted by Tane S. Danger; guests include Lori Sturdevant of the Star Tribune and Bill Salisbury of the Pioneer Press.

Nothing is more humorous than public policy?especially improv in an election year with people who know politics in Minnesota and nationally as well as anyone.

Sturdevant and Salisbury will discuss the hot issues of the day and then, in real time, the cast re-imagines the debate through the spontaneity of unscripted theater to make public policy fun.
