“POTUS or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive” by Selinga Fillinger
Directed by Ruth Andrews, with Mariah Donley, Andrea Hutslar, Jennifer Jasper, Afiya Latham, Raquel Rivera, Marybeth Saunders, and Kate Whitehall.
An uproarious Broadway debut by playwright Selina Fillinger, POTUS Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive is a riotous comedy about the women in charge of the man in charge of the free world.
The Story: 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.
Selina Fillinger’s brilliant, all-female farce took Broadway by storm in a star-studded production that earned three 2022 Tony nominations.
