SUMMARY:Yes\, And...The History of Improv in the American Experience
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis event is intended for adults and is part of the America 250 initiative: celebrating our nation throughout the year. Registration is not required. \nFor more information\, please contact Susan at susang@dkpl.org or (815) 756-9568 ext. 2114.
