How concerned should I be about Hantavirus and Ebola? Should we still be wearing masks? And will a doctor be available at the show to check out this rash?
In this live show, we’ll discuss the ins and outs of infectious disease with Dr. Michael Osterholm, a world-renowned epidemiologist and the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota. After an uplifting conversation about the many ways we can die, we’ll bring our cast of improvisers to the stage to perform live, unscripted comedy scenes about everything they’ve heard.
You’ll leave the show with new knowledge, new laugh lines, and a newfound fear of recycled air. You won’t want to miss it!

"Imagine C-SPAN suddenly swarmed by the cast of SNL" —The Minnesota Star Tribune
A civic comedy institution is returning at a moment when people are overwhelmed by serious issues and exhausted by bad public conversation.
But what is The Theater of Public Policy (T2P2)?
- Shows open with a lively conversation with a newsmaker or policy wonk.
- That conversation inspires a team of Minnesota’s most talented improvisers, who create entirely spontaneous sketches based on the interview.
- The expert guest then answers questions from the audience.
- The show wraps with one last round of improv from the cast.
It’s a one-of-a-kind mix of learning and laughter — and each show only happens once.
