2019 Kilroy List Winner, and three-time Tony nominee

" POTUS is a potty-mouthed sendup of life in the fastest lane, the one that ends at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave."

- Peter Marks, The Washington Post

The Southeastern Premiere

A scandalous comment, a summit gone wrong, and an unexpected medical emergency—it's another disaster-filled day at the White House. When the President accidentally turns a PR mishap into a global fiasco, the seven women who keep things running risk everything to save the day. Selina Fillinger’s uproarious play, "POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive," is a wild, irreverent romp through sex and politics.

Fresh from a Broadway run, this riotous, laugh-out-loud farce showcases the women behind the presidency who are quite literally holding it all together. Red, blue, and everyone in between can come, laugh, and let go.

Catch this blazing comedy at Atlanta's Synchronicity Theatre, where a fearless, woman-led team brings the story to life. Don't miss your chance to see the women who really run the world.

CONTENT ADVISORY:

Please be advised that this show contains very mature language and is for adults only. Please also be advised that it will cause uncontrollable fits of laughter and an evening of relief from the insanity of the current state of American politics.
