Welcome to MNprov Live!
MNprov Live! brings neurodivergent voices and talents into the spotlight—giving performers the chance to share their creativity and connect with their community in meaningful ways.
Through paid weekly rehearsals and monthly performances, MNprov Live! performers cultivate independence, resilience, and a sense of belonging as they strengthen skills essential for success in work, relationships, and everyday life.
MNprov Live! members have the opportunity for social integration, fair compensation, and the satisfaction of knowing their talents and contributions are valued by the community.
Paid weekly rehearsals create a safe space for performers to grow their improvisation skills, deepen social connections, and experience genuine inclusion. In this supportive environment, participants gain confidence in taking reasonable risks and learn to accept mistakes as part of growth. They improve their communication and teamwork, actively listen, and expand their ability to consider different perspectives.
By amplifying voices that have historically been marginalized, MNprov Live not only uplifts its performers but also encourages a more inclusive and connected society.
MNprov Live! performers grow as artists and are celebrated for their unique perspectives. Troupe members are showcased as role models for neurodivergent individuals and as ambassadors for the disability community, helping to foster understanding and appreciation among the general public.
