POTUS

February 23 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Free
A play reading written by Selina Fillinger and produced by Exit, Pursued by a Play Reading

Exit, Pursued by a Play Reading is a new reading series where Chicago’s best and most beloved actors find themselves chased by rabid, unrehearsed, theatrical comedies – desperately trying to stay ahead, as they strive to tickle your fancy, brighten your heart, and warm the chilliest of Chicago evenings.

This time, we’re reading Potus by Selina Fillinger

The Story

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.

Cast TBA
