"POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive" by playwright Selina Fillinger is a riotous comedy about the women in charge of the man in charge of the free world.
A derogatory comment, a summit gone awry, an anal abscess — it’s a bad day at the White House. When the President unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, the seven women he most relies upon risk their careers, families, and freedom to save the day. Selina Fillinger’s female farce, "POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive," is a riotous and irreverent look at sex and politics.
Fillinger's brilliant, all-female farce took Broadway by storm in a star-studded production that earned three 2022 Tony nominations.

“Gleefully filthy.” – The New York Times
“A broad, zany, old-school comedy... You can feel how hungry the spectators are to laugh together, and they get to do it often in this silly, fast-paced lark.” – TimeOut NY
“Sly wit and inspired goofiness.” – The New York Sun
