POTUS

POTUS is a riotous political comedy about the seven women working behind the scenes at the White House. After the president accidentally turns a public-relations problem into an international crisis, his brilliant but overwhelmed aides, advisers, and allies scramble to protect the commander-in-chief while trying to preserve their own sanity.

Directed by Ali Funkhouser, the production combines satire with a fast-moving crisis plot and is intended for adult audiences. The play includes very strong language, discussions of sexual encounters, depictions of substance use, and references to abortion.
