"POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive" by playwright Selina Fillinger is a riotous comedy about the women in charge of the man in charge of the free world. Fillinger's brilliant, all-female farce took Broadway by storm in a star-studded production that earned three 2022 Tony nominations.
A derogatory comment, a summit gone awry, an anal abscess — it’s a bad day at the White House. When the President unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, the seven women he most relies upon risk their careers, families, and freedom to save the day. Selina Fillinger’s female farce, "POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive," is a riotous and irreverent look at sex and politics.
Tickets are $15.00 for the general public and $12.00 for seniors, students and youth.
