The Theater of Public Policy presents Brag Minneapolis - With Betsy Hodges

In her State of the City address, Mayor Betsy Hodges said "we can't afford to be modest." She announced that July 14-20 would be "The Best Week of Bragging About Minneapolis Ever." She's shouting to the rooftops about how great our city and the people in it are.

She asked T2P2 if we'd do a show where we turn everyone's brags into hilarious comedy. We said yes, and now you have the chance to see your stories of life in Minneapolis brought to the stage! Join us for a memorable evening and come see Mayor Hodges and others as they brag!

What is the show?

Our interview based show is a powerful medium for exploring issues and bringing them to life using theater. All of the ideas and challenges brought up in this conversation serve as the inspiration for the improvised scenes to follow. The improvisers tasks are not to make light of the issues or mock the players involved. Instead, scenes make the previous conversation come to life with living, breathing characters in the situations described. It’s a show unlike any other.
