POTUS
Comedy

By Selina Fillinger

MAY 2-4, 9-11, 2025 FRI 7:30pm, SAT & Sun 2pm Dates & Times subject to change

One four-letter word is about to rock 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. When the 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. POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive is a bawdy and irreverent look at sex, politics and the women in charge of the man in charge of the free world. Who knew that global crisis is always just a four-letter word away.

“POTUS” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.

Actress, fashion icon, wife, mother and tireless humanitarian, she is as much beloved today as she was half a century ago. Join Chicago cabaret artist Hilary Ann Feldman and pianist Beckie Menzie for their touching, funny and enlightening musical tribute to this extraordinary woman. They blend story and songs, including “Moon River” from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and selections from “My Fair Lady.”

Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson- Apt 2B
Farce

By Kate Hamil

September 12-14, 19-21 FRI 7:30pm, SAT & Sun 2pm Dates & Times subject to change

An irreverent, darkly comic, modern take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth and sidekick, this fast-paced romp re-examines the world’s most famous detective story with a bold new feminist lens. In this highly theatrical, escapade, oddball female roommates Sherlock Holmes & Joan Watson join forces to emerge from pandemic fog as a deeply codependent, quasi-dysfunctional Odd Couple adventure duo - solving mysteries and kicking butts, until they come face to face with a villain who seems to have all the answers.

MS. HOLMES & MS. WATSON – APT. 2B is presented through special arrangement with TRW PLAYS 1180 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 640, New York, NY 10036.
