‘POTUS, or Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive’ by Selina Fillinger Springs Ensemble Theatre to stage “POTUS” at PPSC First co-production at Pikes Peak State College since new partnership announcement brings zany summer comedy downtown. Springs Ensemble Theatre announces its June production of “POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive” by Selina Fillinger, running June 4 through June 21, 2026, at Studio West Mulliken Black Box at the Pikes Peak State College Downtown Campus. This marks SET’s first production at Pikes Peak State College since the two organizations announced a new partnership designed to strengthen the local theatre ecosystem by combining forces and creating opportunities for students to work alongside theatre professionals. What begins as a public relations nightmare spirals into a full-scale comic emergency. Rather than spoofing on one party or the other, “POTUS” satirizes the machinery of politics itself: ego, image management, scandal, institutional dysfunction, and the people left cleaning up (and potentially complicit in) the mess. At the center of the story is a truth often overlooked in public life: many of the people doing the hardest work, solving the biggest problems, and keeping institutions functioning are women whose influence is not always publicly recognized. “POTUS” turns that reality into comedy while also giving center stage to seven dynamic female characters who are smart, messy, strategic, funny, and fully human.
