POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive
By Selina Fillinger
Directed by Mariana Seda
When the president unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, seven brilliant, beleaguered women must risk life, liberty and the pursuit of sanity to clean up his 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. POTUS premiered at New York’s Shubert Theatre in 2022, was nominated for three Tony Awards, and went on to a successful run at Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago in 2023.

Declared an 'official history of American Horror' by the New York Times, The Minutes is a scathing new comedy about small-town politics and real-world power set at a city council meeting in the fictional town of Big Cherry. The story exposes the ugliness behind some of our most closely-held American narratives while asking each of us what we would do to keep from becoming history's losers. The Minutes made its Broadway debut in April of 2022 receiving both Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize nominations for Best Play.

Assassins is a journey through the dark side of the American dream. Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's Tony-winning musical Assassins has a haunting score and narrative that explores the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or attempted to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical "revusical" that explores the dark side of the American experience.
From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, the rules of time and space are bent, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and inspire each other to attempt their harrowing acts in the name of “the American Dream.”

[title of show]
Music and lyrics by Jeff Bowen, Book by Hunter Bell
Directed by M. William Panek
Music Direction by Simon Tiffin
Choreography by Whitney Havice
Jeff and Hunter, two struggling writers, hear about a new musical theatre festival. However, the deadline for submissions is a mere three weeks away. With nothing to lose, the pair decides to try to create something new with the help of their friends Susan, Heidi, and Larry on keyboard. They make a pact to write up until the festival's deadline and dream about the show changing their lives. [title of show] -- taken from the space on the festival's application form which asks for the "[title of show]" -- follows Hunter and Jeff and their friends on their journey through the gauntlet of creative self-expression. In the span of 90 minutes they write and perform their show at the festival and learn lessons about themselves as people, friends and artists.
[title of show] is, above all, a love letter to the musical theatre -- a uniquely American art form -- and to the joy of collaboration.
