Performers Needed for Theatre Audition “Potus”

Theater
Description

Seeking cast for production of “Potus”. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See more info below.

About the project:
An uproarious political farce set in the White House, POTUS follows seven powerhouse women cleaning up a chaotic PR nightmare caused by “the man in charge”—who never appears onstage. It’s fast-paced, filthy, feminist comedy with sharp wit and physical mayhem. One explosive day at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the President utters a devastating four-letter insult—spurting a full-blown PR nightmare. The stage remains exclusively women’s territory as seven powerhouse women, each orbiting the Oval Office, scramble to avert global crisis. With escalating scandals, bodily-incident chaos, and end-of-world urgency, they risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to shield the Commander-in-Chief from himself.

Additional info:
CONTENT WARNING:
POTUS is a comedy that contains very strong language and mature themes, including sexual references, simulated drug and cigarette use, depictions of firearms, and references to hot-button issues.
