Review: POTUS at Elmwood Playhouse
by Pia Haas - March 20, 2025


Potus is a satirical farce written by L.A.-based playwright and performer Selina Fillinge. The play opened on Broadway on April 27, 2022 at the Shubert Theatre. The premise is that It takes seven women to keep the President of the United States functioning—or at least trying to.  As his chaotic three-year tenure reaches yet another crisis, it’s up to the women around him to save the day once again. As farces go, it is appropriately over-the-top, its absurdity, bold characters, and crazy antics prompt plenty of laughs.

Review: TERRA NOVA at The Town Players Of New Canaan
by Pia Haas - February 25, 2025


The play selections at TPNC have always intrigued me. I consistently leave their shows with new insights and feeling thoroughly entertained, or emotionally roused. Currently playing is Terra Nova, which won playwright Ted Tally an OBIE Award for its 1984 New York production. Tally also won an Oscar for his adapted screenplay of The Silence Of The Lambs in 1991.
