Trip to the Theater: POTUS

Rockford has a theater company that is a true gem: West Side Show Room. In their own words, WSSR "presents plays that are wildly entertaining, but never allow the audience to withdraw into complacency. Whether the work is old/new, dramatic/comedic, realistic/absurd, our performances are up-close, immersive, risky, confrontational, and challenge the audience to expand their view of the world."

You buy your own ticket in advance. WSSR is committed to making theater accessible to everyone, so you don't have to pay anything for a ticket, but donations are welcomed.

The play starts at 4pm. The WSSR recommends arriving 30 minutes prior to the start time.

ALERT: POTUS contains strong profanity throughout, adult humor, and audience interaction.

POTUS

WRITTEN by Selina Fillinger
DIRECTED by Epic Jones

One four-letter word is about to rock 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. When the President unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, the seven brilliant and beleaguered women he relies upon most risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to keep the commander-in-chief out of trouble.

Selina Fillinger’s brilliant, all-female farce took Broadway by storm in a star-studded production that earned three 2022 Tony nominations.
