POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive
By Selina Fillinger
Directed by Emily Miller
A wildly funny and razor-sharp political farce, POTUS takes audiences inside the chaotic inner workings of the White House at a moment when everything that can go wrong does. Seven brilliant and beleaguered women scramble to contain a national crisis sparked by one very bad presidential comment. Fast-paced, irreverent, and unapologetically bold, the play skewers power, gender, and politics with nonstop laughs.
Content Warning: Mature language and themes.
“Flat-out hilarious… a feminist farce for the ages” — The New York Times.
