Tired of lying politicians? Get revenge with Election Show 2008

 

 

Wing-It Productions is proud to announce the return of its acclaimed political comedy Election Show 2008 to Seattle just in time for the presidential election.

 

Election Show 2008 performances are Thursdays and Fridays at 8pm September 4th to the19th, and October 2nd to the 24th at the Historic University Theater at 5510 University Way NE. Tickets are $10 (GA) and $8 for students and seniors. Thursday nights are $2 off General Admission with a voter registration card.

 

Election Show 2008 is a completely improvised election where the audience votes to choose the winner! Follow the candidates though a brutal primary, debates, attack ads and scandals all based on audience suggestions! The show features no real political issues (no war, taxes, etc.), candidates or parties. We use our own candidates, issues, political parties and candidate platforms, all chosen by the audience. If one candidate promises to shorten the workday from eight hours to four, while the other promises to create a new branch of the military comprised entirely of ninjas, the peoplešs will rules.

Election Show 2008  has been featured on Northwest Cable News, 710 KIRO, KONG TV, NPR and was a Seattle PI Fall Arts Guide Pick in 2004. The show has represented Seattle at comedy festivals in Chicago, San Francisco, Phoenix, Austin, Toronto and Minneapolis, and recently performed for The Seattle Repšs Patriot Acts.

 

Wing-It will host an Opening Night Show and Gala Thursday September 4th. Champagne and Cake will follow the show, with an opportunity to speak with the cast and crew, as well as members of Wing-It Productions.

 

Election Show 2008  is created and directed by John Boyle and Douglas Willott.
