Prepare to be captivated by "POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive," a masterful creation by Selina Fillinger. This uproarious comedy, directed by Missy Koonce, unfolds on the Unicorn Theatre's Levin Stage. The narrative centers around a single four-letter word that sends shockwaves through 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, transforming a minor PR blunder into a full-blown global crisis. At the heart of this chaos are seven brilliant and beleaguered women, each grappling with the monumental task of safeguarding the president from his own missteps. Their journey is a whirlwind of life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity, as they navigate the treacherous waters of political scandal and personal sacrifice. With a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes, including an intermission, this performance promises a blend of sharp wit, biting humor, and poignant moments that reflect the complexities of leadership and loyalty.

A towering work of genius, Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 3 will take you on a musical journey encompassing a world of emotion. Led by Music Director Matthias Pintscher, the Symphony’s virtuosity will be on full display. Contralto Jasmin White brings their incandescent sound and exquisite musicianship to this masterwork, joined by the Symphony Chorus women and a children’s choir. Mahler famously said, “A symphony must be like the world. It must contain everything.” He set out to accomplish just that and his Third Symphony is a profound work encompassing existential questions, serene contemplation and eloquent grandeur. You’ll hear moments of warm tenderness, orchestral thunder and everything in between. Mahler poured his soul into this music, saying, “In it the whole of nature finds a voice.”
