Music Mountain Theatre presents "POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive"

Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 04/15/2025

(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) -- Music Mountain Theatre presents POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive weekends from April 18 through May 4, 2025. The play by Selina Fillinger is about a derogatory comment, a summit gone awry, an anal abscess - it's a bad day at the White House.

When the President unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, it inevitably falls on the seven women he relies on most to clean up the mess. Take a raucous romp through the halls of the West Wing in a riotous and irreverent farce about the men who hold the power vs. the women who get the job done. This Broadway hit about the women who must save a bumbling President and the world from falling apart (again) is filled with intelligence, wit, and a shocking amount of audacity.

The cast includes Jenna Parrilla Alvino, Molly Chase, Jina Choi, Rachel Fingles, Libby Kane, Madison Kotnarowski, Deborah Peckman, Lauren Brader, Jenn Hsiao, and Alison McMullen.

Performances take place Friday, April 18 at 8:00pm Saturday, April 19 at 3:00pm  & 8:00pm; Sunday, April 20 at 3:00pm; Friday, April 25 at 8:00pm; Saturday, April 26 at 3:00pm & 8:00pm; Sunday, April 27 at 3:00pm; Friday, May 2 at 8:00pm; Saturday, May 3 at 3:00pm & 8:00pm; and Sunday, May 4 at 3:00pm. Tickets are available for purchase online. Music Mountain Theatre is located at 1483 NJ-179 in Lambertville, New Jersey.

Content Warning: POTUS contains very strong language, mature themes, and references to hot-button issues.
