FEATURED PRESENTER

603835_752893754788387_6215114847533200387_nThe Theater of Public Policy is an improv comedy show created by Tane Danger and Brandon Boat. T2P2 uses various politically charged issues from the local and national levels as fodder for comedy, but not with the intent of make light of serious issues. T2P2 uses the material for the dual purpose of entertaining their audiences and breaking down politics in an engaging and educational way, all while deftly remaining as nonpartisan as possible. A typical show starts with the actors interviewing someone who’s passionate about a particular aspect of public policy. Then in the second half, the actors use the interview as the fodder for a round of improv theater. To learn more about The Theater of Public Policy, please visit the group’s Web site.
