About the Play:

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. 

Character Breakdown: These women are not just crass to be crass or just funny to be funny. They’re living and experiencing this chaos authentically and together as a unit. There are no secondary characters.

HARRIET – His Chief of Staff. Right-Hand Woman. Huge boss energy. 

JEAN – His Press Secretary. Always cleaning up his messes. Love-hates Bernadette. Scripted kiss with Bernadette. 

STEPHANIE – His Secretary. Timorous; trying hard to be a fearless girl-boss but falling incredibly short. Scripted to lick Harriet’s cheek. Scripted to spend a portion of the play in unflattering underwear and bra. Scripted vomiting off stage (noise only). 

DUSTY – His Mistress. Daring and confident. Carrying POTUS’ baby. Scripted to provocatively dance and to wear revealing clothing during a scene. Scripted to vomit on stage. 

BERNADETTE – His Sister. Masculine lesbian. A crass drug dealer trying to get a pardon from her brother. In love with Jean. Scripted kiss with Jean and with Chris. 

CHRIS – A Journalist. Single mom. Annoyed at being undermined by a new, young, male journalist. A strong, determined woman who doesn’t let anything stand in her way. Scripted to use a breast pump on stage. Scripted kiss with Bernadette. **MUST BE PLAYED BY A BLACK ACTOR** 

MARGARET – The First Lady. At her wits end with her husband and his antics. Trying her hardest to fight double-standards and to stay out of the shadow of her husband.  **MUST BE PLAYED BY A BLACK ACTOR**
