Using Improv Theatre as an Engine for Laughter and Growth
Who says you can’t laugh and learn at the same time?
MNprov’s improvisational play exercises and curriculum are helping students to connect, communicate, embrace life and develop new ways to grow. And giving teachers a new classroom tool.
A Promise to Improve Learning…While Laughing

Our safe and creative educational play has helped develop communication and learning skills among diverse students—social emotional learning that also is the foundation for mental wellness.
