January 19- February 18 in the Gil Cates Theater at Geffen Playhouse. A derogatory comment, a summit gone awry, an anal abscess—it’s a bad day at the White House.

Take a raucous romp through the halls of the West Wing in a riotous and irreverent farce about the men who hold the power vs. the women who get the job done.
