Fast-paced, chaotic and funny, POTUS is a clever ensemble comedy that takes a hard look at the politics of the patriarchy and critiques the roles of empathy, ambition, and the pursuit of power in a deeply divided America.
This play is FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY.“POTUS” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
