POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive

By: Selina Fillinger

Directed and Produced by: Emily Miller

One Night Only!

Welcome to the behind-the-scenes mayhem of modern political power, where chaos meets comedy, and the real brains are not sitting in the Oval Office.

POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive, delivers a razor-sharp, farcical comedy that unfolds over one unforgettable day in the White House. When the President triggers a public relations meltdown, it’s up to seven fiercely intelligent, unapologetically funny women: his Chief of Staff, Press Secretary, wife, mistress, sister, journalist, and secretary to bail him out of every escalating calamity.

This irreverent uproar bursts with satire, physical comedy, and feminist fire, where no man appears on stage, yet his incompetence drives the havoc.

Critics praised the wild, fearless energy of POTUS. Entertainment Weekly called it “a political funhouse farce” that showcases women managing crises with both grit and laughter. The Geffen Playhouse described it as “a laugh-out-loud riot” and “bawdy, brazen, and hilariously vulgar”
