(DeKalb) – Improv didn’t just change comedy—it reflected how Americans learn to collaborate, adapt, and create. Drawing on the history uncovered in Improv Nation by Sam Wasson, this talk explores the overlooked history of improvisation, from Chicago classrooms and counterculture stages to television and film, revealing how “yes, and” became a distinctly American way of thinking about art, community, and possibility. Join us at the DeKalb Public Library on Saturday, April 11, to learn more about the history of improv in America.
This event is intended for adults and is part of the America 250 initiative: celebrating our nation throughout the year. Registration is not required. It will begin at 1:00 p.m. in the Nancy D. Castle Collaboration Studio.
