POTUS Among Us: Beyond Belief with special guest Charlotte Clymer (writer and transgender activist)

Washington Improv Theater’s unscripted election satire POTUS Among Us: Beyond Belief celebrates its twentieth anniversary with a 2024 edition that puts audiences in control of the candidates’ identities as well as their political future. This year’s edition explores rumor and misinformation—how do we understand truth in an age of misinformation. And what role do we all play in spreading rumors?
Each performance introduces a different motley cast of candidates running to be commander-in-chief. These outlandish characters will combat (or spread) misinformation, face off in debates, and take on rumors (perhaps started by the audience themselves!). The audience will help narrow the field down to two final candidates and ultimately vote to elect a winner each night.

ABOUT THE GUEST: CHARLOTTE CLYMER is an activist and writer. She is the author of Charlotte’s Web Thoughts, an award-winning Substack about politics, religion and culture. She is formerly the Press Secretary for Rapid Response at Human Rights Campaign, as well as the former Director of Communications and Strategy for Catholics for Choice. She previously served in the US Army, and is an outspoke activist on LGBTQ+ rights, feminism and veterans’ affairs.
