What It's About
Prepare to pop with laughs at this delicious adult farce! One 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.
POTUS enjoyed a Broadway run a little over two years ago starring the likes of Rachel Dratch (SNL), Lea DeLaria (Orange is the New Black) and Vanessa Williams in a production nominated for 3 Tony Awards and 3 Drama League Awards.
Bawdy, brazen, and hilariously vulgar, POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive is sure to be a highlight of [the] theatre season, and should not be missed. – Theatrely
the next best thing to ‘Veep’... a profane West Wing comic strip of a play in which a septet of hyper-caffeinated actresses let their funny flags fly. – The Washington Post
