Critically acclaimed Potted Potter, The Unauthorized Harry Experience, A Parody by Dan and Jeff comes to Boston after a hugely successful tour. All seven Harry Potter books in 70 hilarious minutes playing September 17 – October 6, 2013 at the Paramount Center Mainstage, 559 Washington Street, Boston.
ASL-Interpreted performance September 19 at 7:30 pm with interpreters Jennifer Gibbons and Wendy Watson. Tickets can be purchased by contacting: Craig_Melzer@emerson.edu
Written by former BBC Television hosts Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, Potted Potter takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing, or "potting" all seven Harry Potter books into 70 madcap minutes, aided only by multiple costume changes, brilliant songs, ridiculous props and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic. The show also invites audiences to engage with a real life game of Quidditch, according to Clarkson and Turner's unique set of rules.

Park(ing) Day is an international reclamation of the streets through temporary (one-day-long) parklet construction. Using anything from yoga mats to hay bales, people all over the world build mini-parks in metered parking spaces in an effort to raise awareness about the need for streets to be more human-centered, green and accessible.
Through the Parkolation Project, high school students at Boston Green Academy will be building a permanent parklet in the spring of 2014 with expert consultation from Copley Wolff Design Group. This will be the culmination of their work designing parklets this fall, as part of the COOL Schools program at VSA Massachusetts. In order to raise awareness and money for this project, these students will be participating in Park(ing) Day by building a temporary park in front of VSA MA's office.
Where: 89 South St. (2 minute walk from South Station)
When: 9am – 5pm, September 20, 2013
