POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive at Gil Cates Theater

Dates: 1/17/2024 - 2/18/2024

📍 Theatre: Gil Cates Theater

Geffen Playhouse
10886 Le Conte Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90024

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.


Ages: All Geffen Playhouse productions are intended for an adult audience; children under ten years of age will not be admitted.
