'Potted Potter' — A Harry Potter Parody — Coming To Westlake

WESTLAKE, OH — Harry Potter parody "Potted Potter" will come to Crocker Park's Market Square on December 15. The 70-minute show condenses all of the Harry Potter stories — all seven books — into one play.

The show will have a three-week run in Westlake, with the last show on January 6, 2019. Tickets for the play went on sale this week.

"Potted Potter" was created by Oliver Award nominated actors Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner. They combine the franchises' favorite characters with elaborate costumes, props, songs, and a lively cast. Fans will be laughing their heads off throughout the show.

“My initial vision for Market Square was to be a space for the arts and theater, a communal venue bringing together and celebrating incredible talents & performers. We are thrilled to welcome the internationally-known Potted Potter to Market Square this holiday season giving the public an opportunity to experience a truly enjoyable performance together and see the vision come to life,” said Bob Stark, Stark Enterprises CEO.

"Potted Potter" debuted in Toronto and enjoyed a record-breaking run in that metropolis. The show then moved to an off-Broadway theater, before running in San Francisco, Chicago, London, New Zealand, and many other stops.

There will be a special "Potted Potter" express train, modeled on the famous Harry Potter train. The train will take guests around Crocker Park, where they can visit other attractions before and after the show. Among the attractions are a 50-foot tree in the center of the property, "Santa's Sleigh" in East Park, the walk-through ornament in West Park, a holiday rink near Regal Cinemas, Gingerbread Village, the Tree Garden and more.

Market Square is an 8,600 space in Crocker Park. It's near the lifestyle center's newest addition, Phase 3. The venue hosts hundreds of events each year, including weddings, local markets, corporate luncheons, concerts, musicals, and plays.

“Guests have the added bonus of before and after the show enjoying all that Crocker Park has to offer; from shopping, dining, holiday attractions and experiences to make for one incredible holiday season. That is always our goal at Crocker Park, giving each visitor an experience and of course a lasting memory,” said Stark.
