POTUS (industry night with reception) @ ACT Contemporary Theatre (Seattle – Downtown)
POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive. The comedic sensation comes to Seattle and delivers a riotous punch as it unveils the story of seven extraordinary women tasked with managing the antics of the most powerful man in the world. From PR nightmares to global crises, these brilliant and very different women navigate a maze of chaos, risking everything to uphold sanity and stability in the White House. Fueled by Selina Fillinger’s sharp wit and biting satire, this Tony-nominated play offers a tribute to the unsung heroes behind the political curtain.
