POTUS or Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive
By Selina Fillinger
Directed by Lisa Rubin
A Segal Centre production
A #$@!% GOOD TIME!
One four-letter word is about to rock the White House! When the President unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, the 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. Veep meets House of Cards in this uproarious, side-splitting, and riotous comedy featuring seven high-flying and audacious performances!
“I am woman, hear me roar — with laughter.” – Variety
“POTUS is a heck of a good time and a hell of a laugh.” – Theatrely
“The next best thing to Veep has arrived.”– The Washington Post
“POTUS” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com”

LISA'S NOTE 
The ingredients: seven badass women, jaw-dropping performances, non-stop laughter, gutsy and shocking content. The result is a recipe for the most buzzworthy show of our season. Not for the faint of heart! This play pulls no punches.”
