POTUS Among Us: Beyond Belief is Washington Improv Theater's improvised election-year satire, featuring fictional candidates and lots of laughs! WIT has been hosting this audience-immersive show every four years for the past two decades. The 2024 edition explores misinformation, rumors, and the nature of truth through the lens of improvisational comedy.
Each performance will introduce a motley cast of fictional candidates - made up of DC's funniest improvisers - who will face-off in a nightly debate. They'll be confronted with stopping - or spreading - misinformation on social media, and tackle rumors, including some started by the audience members! The audience will also help narrow the field down to two final candidates and will vote to elect a winner each night. The show will examine how we understand truth in the age of misinformation... and the role we all play in standing up for it.
Studio Theatre is at 1501 14th Street NW , Washington, DC.
