POTUS: or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive

September 8-October 1; Previews September 6-7

The Hippodrome Theatre is excited to partner with the UF School of Theatre + Dance for its 51st Season opening show: POTUS: or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive.

One single 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.

Prepare to burst with laughter as you watch this hilariously absurd show featuring women who are messy, chaotic, crude, and morally ambiguous, yet also powerful and real.

“I am woman, hear me roar — with laughter, at “POTUS: or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive,” playwright Selina Fillinger’s delicious feminist farce about the all-female staff that keeps the country out of war and other sticky situations while babysitting the dullard who holds the highest office in our beleaguered land.” – Marilyn Stasio, Variety
