The Theater of Public Policy used improv to explore issues in sustainability.
Public policy and improvisational theater collided in The Theater of Public Policy and Adam Mason’s residency at Central. The Minneapolis troupe of actors interviewed Mason ’02, state policy organizing director at Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, and interpreted sustainability topics through improv performances. Both guests also led workshops for Central and Pella High School students.
The residency was made possible by the Thomas J. and Charlene P. Gaard Endowed Residency in the Liberal Arts. This signature residency is intended to benefit Central College students, faculty, staff and the Pella community. It allows Central to host notable visitors on campus for multi-day residencies that reflect Central’s liberal arts emphasis, enhance students’ education and enable meaningful and up-close exchanges with experts. This presentation was also supported by the Arts Midwest Touring Fund.
March 21-23, the illustrious American Shakespeare Center comes to Central through the Thomas J. and Charlene P. Gaard Endowed Residency in the Liberal Arts. “Julius Caesar,” “Henry V” and “The Importance of Being Earnest” will be performed.
