Can We Close the Racial Wealth Gap?
with Adair Mosley, GroundBreak Coalition
Minnesota has one of the largest racial wealth gaps in the nation. [1] The GroundBreak Coalition, led by Adair Mosley, has some ideas on how to close it — and they don’t involve a giant clamp.
Join us at the Bryant Lake Bowl, where Mosley and Tane Danger will talk about GroundBreak’s critical work funding first-time home buyers, entrepreneurs, and housing developers serving the Twin Cities metro. With that conversation as the foundation, the Danger Boat improv squad will construct one-of-a-kind comedy sketches that put the LOL in low-interest loans.
Will this be the night we get to see Tane Danger’s much-ballyhoo’d backhoe impression …? Brandon Boat’s first draft of “Mortgage: The Musical” …? There’s only one way to find out.

What is the Theater of Public Policy (T2P2)?
A civic comedy institution is returning at a moment when people are overwhelmed by serious issues and exhausted by bad public conversation. The Theater of Public Policy (T2P2) uses humor to take the pressure off of serious conversations, sparking real conversation and helping audiences see issues in new ways.
Here’s how it works:
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 totally unique blend of learning and laughter — and each show only happens once. Seeing is believing, so get your tickets to the next T2P2 show today!
