City Theater Company (CTC) brings D.C. to Delaware with the raucous comedy POTUS, or Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive by Selina Fillinger.

Called “Gleefully filthy” by The New York Times and originally staged on Broadway by Delaware native Susan Stroman, this Tony Award-nominated, comedic tour-de-force stars an all-female ensemble as they navigate a very bad day in The White House.

Starring Mary Carpenter, Jordan Fidalgo, Karen Getz, Kelsey Hébert, Jessica Jordan, Heron Kennedy, and LaNeshe Miller White.

The play also features original songs and music. Delaware’s Grace Vonderkuhn, Nitro Nitra, and Hot Breakfast! are some of the bands contributing their work to the “BitchBeats” playlist that’s called for in the script.
