Potted Potter presented by Shakespeare Theatre Company at Sidney Harman Hall

Potted Potter

Sidney Harman Hall
610 F Street NW Washington

Two unsuspecting comedians take on seven books of spells, potions and epic battles all in seventy minutes. Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing the Harry Potter series into an explosive improv piece. Taking cues from the ease of Reduced Shakespeare Company and on par with comedic parodies "Potter Puppet Pals" and "A Very Potter Musical," Potted Potter is a hilarious experience for both the Potter novice and expert. Whether audiences camped outside a bookstore for three days or don't know the difference between a Horcrux and a Hufflepuff, the comedy, magic and mayhem of Potted Potter makes for an entertaining and hilarious visit to the theatre. Written and performed by two-time Olivier Award-nominated actors Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, Potted Potter is a raucous adventure for ages six to Dumbledore.

"...I will admit, I found it a bit difficult to contain my excitement as I walked towards Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Sidney Harman Hall for Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience last night. As someone who had read all the Harry Potter books and even attended a few of the film midnight premieres, I felt that a show set out to cover all seven books would be the perfect finale for an incredible story that informed so much of my childhood. Looking back, I can make two conclusions: First, judging by the full house of audience members of all ages, I was clearly not the only one inspired by J.K. Rowling’s magical series. Second, Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, with their hilarious writing, brilliant comedic timing, and high energy, truly know how to win over a crowd."

Potted Potter, the unauthorized Harry Potter parody experience, succeeds in combining a love for J.K. Rowling’s magical universe, and improvisational comedy, thanks to two captivating performers. Just as the insanely popular books, along with the film adaptations, appeal to all ages, Potted Potter is delightfully accessible to audiences of any age.
