“No one else does what they do. They offer a much higher value for community building than a regular improv show. If you’re interested in introducing content of any kind — not just the hard stuff — their format gives you a place to present a story, be entertained, and make it memorable.”
— Wini Froelich, Program Specialist, Mill City Museum
“I was so impressed by the way the cast integrated themselves in the discussions and immediately picked up on the subtle (and not so subtle) things our members are grappling with. It’s clear that you all have put in a ton of work to create such great performances and it shows! Our members are already asking to have Danger Boat back next year.”
— Conference organizer
Bringing them back to Minneapolis…with history?!
Case study: The Mill City Museum
Summary
It was 2021, the summer after the pandemic shutdown and the uprisings following the murder George Floyd. The Mill City Museum had been closed for a year. People were still nervous about attending indoor events, especially in Minneapolis. Wini Froelich, the program specialist at the Mill City Museum, led a coalition of local historic/visitor organizations — Mississippi Watershed Management Organization, Mississippi Park Connection and Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock Visitor Center — to develop a program to begin engaging people again in history by connecting it with modern events. Having been to a few Theater of Public Policy performances, she knew that Danger Boat would be an ideal partner to bring such an event to life.
Services
While Wini knew DBP was an expert at making tough subjects accessible through humor, she didn’t know exactly how to build the program. There is so much history around urban-related issues that they could feature a range of topics. But how could they make it also really fun to attract people to attend? She also was concerned about buy-in. Sometimes, organizations that cover history are hesitant to take on the relevance of modern issues that could have political viewpoints attached. Danger Boat's brand of inclusive humor would make it easier for everyone to participate in the conversation.
Working closely together, Danger Boat quickly honed in on a series of interview-based comedy shows at different historical sites, titled What Makes Minneapolis, Minneapolis? At each site, they interview a different expert on a different topic. At St. Anthony Lock and Dam, the topic was Mississippi River History; at A Mill Lofts the topic was Scandal on the Waterfront; and they performed about Affordable Housing Past & Present in the courtyard of the Mill City Museum.
Success
The events were very well attended by different audiences at each site. The people who attended were engaged and participated in the topic of the evening. Each event had a wonderful reception and people loved it so much that it sparked their interest to find out more about the issue, and even, take action. The coalition’s goals were achieved and Wini has invited Danger Boat back to the Mill City Museum to perform at the first Minnesota Historic Society exhibition focused on LGBTQIA history.
