1812 Productions opens their 2016/17 season with the hilarious THIS IS THE WEEK THAT IS: THE ELECTION SPECIAL. This show provides a respite from the chaos of this current election season, and delivers the gift of laughter to the audience no matter which side of the political aisle you are on. Personally, I felt this show provided a perfect escape from the madness of this year's political season, and it was a pure two hours of laughter. Everything about this show was brilliant from the writing to the use of digital media to the impersonations and skits. This is one show that you will be sorry if you miss this season, especially if you have the election time blues.
1812 Productions launches its 20th anniversary season with its annual political comedy, and Philadelphia favorite, This Is The Week That Is. A staple of the Philadelphia theatre season for the past 11 years,This Is The Week That Is brings to the stage sharp satire and content that changes with the headlines. This Is The Week That Is: The Election Special will play from September 29th thru November 7th at Plays & Players Theatre in Center City.
