Potus: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive
Event WebsiteAbout
Berkeley Rep brings you this gleefully feminist satire just in time for the Presidential primaries! 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. (Any resemblance to past White House shenanigans is purely coincidental.) Entertainment Weekly says, “The likelihood that you will laugh until your face hurts is one of near certainty.”

Selina Fillinger’s feminist satire, which appeared on Broadway in 2022, has been called “a mix between Saturday Night Live and Veep.” The President makes a big honking faux pas, and seven valiant women try to rescue him from his PR nightmare. Annie Tippe directs an all-female cast.
