    ASL-Interpreted Performance of Potted Potter at Paramount Center Mainstage

    Potted Potter Logo

    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.
