POTUS: or, Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep him Alive Opens at Playhouse 22

EAST BRUNSWICK – "POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive", a farcical comedy by Selina Fillinger kicks off Playhouse 22's 2026 - 2027 season Friday, September 18.

Running through October 3, "POTUS" is about when a 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. The all-female farce took Broadway by storm in a star-studded production that earned three 2022 Tony nominations.
