““POTUS or, Behind Every Great Du***ss are Seven Women Trying To Keep Him Alive” starts with rollercoaster momentum and keeps going up and up!

It’s a non-stop jet-fueled comedy with riotous wit and ribald humor.”

Michael Buzzelli says, "The all-female cast is the finest assemblage of women since George Cukor’s 1939 masterpiece, “The Women.” To call them Pittsburgh's finest only diminishes their talent by geographic location.They are all stars!"

Q***r Rebellion and Liberation in City Theatre’s ‘POTUS’ 09/26/2024

"Moreno held her tongue time and time again trying not to spoil the show. “You’re never going to know what will happen next in a good, fun way. All of the ‘what ifs’ play out in the most ridiculous way imaginable.” She has been thrilled by the audience reactions so far, which have been incredibly vocal from start to finish, 'laughter, groans, gasps, everything, just absolutely losing it'."

CITY THEATRE CELEBRATES 50TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON WITH NEW READING SERIES

‘City Rewinds: 50 Years of New Plays’ provides a decade-by-decade retrospective of the organization’s most beloved shows.

In the first of many 50th anniversary celebrations, City Theatre has
created a new reading series, City Rewinds: 50 Years of New Plays, to look back and celebrate some of its audiences' favorite productions.

City Theatre has dug into its production archives and solicited feedback from audience members to curate a decade-by-decade retrospective of its most-remembered plays. Patrons will have the opportunity to revisit and experience a stage reading of a script (including some of the original artists) from each organizational
era.

A special “City Rewinds” subscription takes attendees on a magical “playback” tour of seminal works from the organization’s first 50 years.

The first reading takes place Monday, September 30 with a stage reading of Robert Askins’s "Hand to God".

An uproariously funny, feminist satire lands in time for election season! A crude comment, a problematic paramour, and an unfortunate medical mess turn a PR nightmare into a global crisis – and it’s all dumped upon the seven women responsible for keeping the president presidential.

POTUS, A Farcical Play at City Theatre 09/16/2024

Cast members Tamara Tunie, Lara Hayhurst, and Missy Moreno were guests on WQED Pittsburgh Voice of the Arts Podcast.

Ankle monitors, secret liaisons, and a wife trying to keep it all together. It’s a play about politics, without all the politics involved, perfect for this election season. Tamara, Lara, and Missy also discuss how collaborative, safe, and fun rehearsal has been. It’s “Friends camp” and never work.

The show runs from Saturday, September 21st to Sunday, October 13th at City Theatre on the South Side.
