Performers Needed for Theatre Audition "Potus"
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.

7 roles
Chief of Staff (Female Presenting). The political bulldog. Controlled, steely, and exudes authority—yet stretched to the brink. Lives to manage chaos behind the scenes.
Press Secretary (Female Presenting). Sharp, cynical, and media-savvy. Attempts to steer the narrative, yet finds her personal life—especially her romance—creating complications.
Presidential Secretary/Assistant (Female Presenting). Type-A, bright, and anxious. Determined to prove herself, but her mounting stress—often hilariously exacerbated—threatens her composure.
President’s Dalliance (Female Presenting). From a small farming community; sex-positive and politically curious. Unwittingly becomes integral to the team. May be pregnant, depending on staging.
President’s sister (Female Presenting) Charismatic hot mess. A recent ex-con with an ankle monitor. Entrepreneurial drug dealer with a wild personality who gives the First Lady and press secretary a run for their money.
Journalist (Female Presenting). A worn-down, overworked reporter or White House correspondent. Often juggling breastfeeding or motherhood and professional ambition.
First Lady (Female Presenting). Regal, composed, and deadly sharp. Feels undervalued despite impressive credentials; tries to soften her image, even wearing Crocs to seem more “earthy”.
