ÃÛÌÒAPP Mainstage opens its fall season with Selina Fillinger’s outrageous political comedy
POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Great Women Trying to Keep Him Alive, directed by Lori Elizabeth Parquet. Performances run September 24–October 4 in the
Shaver Theatre.
In this whip-smart, fast-paced comedy, seven brilliant and beleaguered women risk
their careers, dignity, and sanity as they race to contain a White House crisis created
by the man they are all trying to keep in office—and alive. Filled with sharp satire,
physical comedy, and escalating chaos, POTUS takes a hilarious look at the women working
behind the scenes to keep the country running.

This year’s festival features new works selected from 246 submissions from playwrights across the nation. We encourage students of all students to audition.
