Video: The Cast of POTUS at Geffen Playhouse Share Why You Should See the Show

The cast of Geffen Playhouse's POTUS are explaining why people should check out the show in an all new video! 

"It's very funny, it's very clever, it's politically aware," said Alexandra Billings. "And it's about women being funny, and it's about time."

"If you are a Republican, you will love it. If you are a Democrat, you will love it," explained Deirdre Lovejoy.

This production marks Los Angeles premiere of the three-time Tony Award-nominated play POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive, written by Selina Fillinger (Apple TV+’s The Morning Show, Something Clean) and directed by Jennifer Chambers (The Cake, The Enigmatist).

The cast includes Ito Aghayere (Junk, Bernhardt/Hamlet) as Chris; Alexandra Billings (Wicked, Transparent) as Margaret; Lauren Blumenfeld (The Assembled Parties, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as Stephanie; Shannon Cochran (A Doll’s House, Part 2; Bug) as Harriet; Celeste Den (M. Butterfly, American Born Chinese) as Jean; Jane Levy (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Suburgatory) as Dusty; and Deirdre Lovejoy (The Blacklist, The Wire) as Bernadette.

Previews for POTUS begin Wednesday, January 17, 2024, in the Gil Cates Theater at Geffen Playhouse. Opening night is Thursday, January 25, 2024. 

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, it inevitably falls on the seven women he relies on most to clean up the mess. Take a raucous romp through the halls of the West Wing in a riotous and irreverent farce about the men who hold the power vs. the women who get the job done.
