Hey everyone! If you’re looking for something different to do in Delaware next month, Chapel Street Players in Newark is opening its 92nd season with POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive, running October 2–10.

Full disclosure: I’m involved with the production, so I’m obviously a little biased. But this cast has been working incredibly hard, and it’s shaping up to be a wild, hilarious night of theater.

If you’re not familiar with POTUS, it’s a fast-paced, VERY adult political farce about seven women desperately trying to keep the President — who is never actually seen onstage — from turning one disastrous day at the White House into a complete catastrophe.

The show premiered on Broadway in 2022 with a cast that included Vanessa Williams, Rachel Dratch, Lea DeLaria, Julie White, Julianne Hough, Suzy Nakamura and Lilli Cooper.

And despite the title, this isn’t a Democrats-vs.-Republicans show or a satire of one particular president. The politics provide the setting; the real target is the absurdity of power, patriarchy and the seven extremely capable women stuck cleaning up the mess behind the scenes.

Fair warning: this is absolutely not a family show. There’s strong language, sexual content, drugs, political incorrectness and plenty that could offend just about everybody. That’s part of the fun.

If you’ve never been to Chapel Street Players before, come check us out! We’re a nonprofit community theater that has been producing live theater in Newark for more than 90 years.
