Stumped tickets

As the mid-terms approach, Washington Improv Theater invites audiences on a fun-filled, satirical romp along the improvised campaign trails of two fictional local candidates (and their hapless but hilarious staff) as they do battle to come out on top in WIT’s fall Directors’ Series production, Stumped.

DC’s funniest improvisers will take electoral chaos to the next level as they explore the absurdities of American politics through a distinctly comedic lens, touching on everything from campaign financing and congressional gridlock, to scandals and hot mic gaffes.

Because there’s no script, each show will be unique and have new candidates representing fake districts in different states, defending improvised policy positions pulled from a hat. It’s a highly interactive show, with audiences playing a role in determining many of the surprise elements, including who wins in the end!
