All 7 Harry Potter Books in Seventy Minutes?! You’ve Gotta See This

How magical would it be if you could see ALL SEVEN Harry Potter books in seventy minutes??! Well… our magic wands must be working, because we just found out that you can!! Potted Potter, The Unauthorized Harry Experience, is coming (back) to the Shakespeare Theatre Company.

The parody returns to STC’s Harman Hall to entertain the District’s witches, wizards and muggles from April 3 – 15, 2018.

Created by actors Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, the Olivier Award-nominated show takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing all seven Harry Potter books — and a real life game of Quidditch — into 70 hilarious minutes. It features all the leading characters, a special appearance from a fire-breathing dragon, endless costume changes, fantastic songs, ridiculous props and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic!

Nomatter your Hogwarts House, or even if you don’t know the difference between a Horcrux and a Hufflepuff, Potted Potter will make you roar with laughter. It’s perfectly magical fan and family fun.

Potted Potter runs April 3–15 at Sidney Harman Hall (610 F Street NW). Tickets are now on sale priced $59-95 with discount pricing for groups of 10 or more.
