Unleash laughter and feminist fierceness with the First All-Female FARCE to take center stage: POTUS!
One single four-letter word is about to rock 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. When the President unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, the seven brilliant and beleaguered women he relies upon most risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to keep the commander-in-chief out of trouble.
Prepare to burst with laughter as you watch this hilariously absurd show featuring women who are messy, chaotic, crude, and morally ambiguous, yet also powerful and real.
Critics rave about the sheer brilliance of this show:
"A must-watch for anyone craving hilarity and feminist fierceness." –The Washington Post.
"You'll burst with laughter from start to finish!" – The New York Times.
“I am woman, hear me roar — with laughter, at “POTUS: or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive,” playwright Selina Fillinger’s delicious feminist farce about the all-female staff that keeps the country out of war and other sticky situations while babysitting the dullard who holds the highest office in our beleaguered land.” ?– Marilyn Stasio, Variety
Join us for an evening of wit, satire, and empowerment as you witness the behind-the-scenes madness at the highest echelons of power.
