The only streak longer than Door County picking the eventual Presidential winner is Jeff Herbst singing about the Presidential elections of yesteryear. Years before he ever penned the first words of his show "And If Elected," Herbst's thirst for presidential knowledge began when he was a young boy when he substituted his love for Batman reruns for learning trivia about our founding fathers. Presidential facts play a role in the show, which has spanned three iterations of Northern Sky Theater, five U.S. Presidents, and nine elections. Playing only during presidential election years, Herbst keeps the show up-to-date in every cycle, discovering presidential campaign songs and recollecting other moments. Even as the tenor of the country has changed with recent elections, Herbst is proud that "And If Elected" has not just stood the test of time but also the test of political discourse.
"And If Elected" runs through October 26th at the Gould Theater.
