The Candidate Live in Georgetown
Bring a picnic to Dumbarton House or Tudor Place for an evening under the stars.
The Picnic Theatre Company is performing an original parody play adaptation of The Candidate, a 1970s satire of election politics in America, at Dumbarton House (the 27th play, 14th season there) and Tudor Place (first time!) June 12-13-14.
In this satire of electoral politics in America, the heir of a famous political family is tapped to run a hopeless campaign against a powerful incumbent Senator. Be transported to the 1970s with music and costumes on the campaign trail.
