If this 1812 Productions show's long-standing title gives you a "WTF, again?" moment, hold tight: Jennifer Childs and company never perform the same show two nights in a row. This Is the Week That Is' political satire changes daily, reflecting the latest local, national and international news — and the rantings and ravings that pose as news — so audiences never get déjà vu. This time expect a history of public outrage and the answer to the question: What if a professed witch really were elected to the Senate?
