‘…Or Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive’
by Selina Fillinger – SOLD OUT
The subtitle pretty much sums it up: seven women managing mayhem, controlling chaos, keeping the world spinning on its axis – or ensuring the spin is right while the world looks the other way. Seven fierce, ambitious women working hard and being smart, cleaning up the mess, and living in the President’s shadow, until they find themselves at the epicenter of a frantic attempt to save face for America – and save POTUS from himself.
The play is about a group of women all affiliated in some way with the White House, one of the most powerful nerve centers in the world. But in the words of the author, it is dedicated to “any woman who’s ever found herself the secondary character in a male farce.”
Please note that the play contains profanity and adult subject matter and is therefore not suitable for children under the age of 16.
We will celebrate the end of the season together. Voting for the annual Butties will open in the last week of June.
The annual Brussels Union of Theatre Technicians (BUTT) awards, fondly known as the Butties will be awarded on Sunday, 6 July 2025 (from 15:30). This year we will be hosted by Brian Hartnett at his house in Rhode-Saint-Genese (close to Uccle).
The results will be posted here at 18:00.

The Production: We are seeking an ensemble of 9 performers for a shortened, high-intensity production of Romeo & Juliet coming in March 2027. Set in the midst of a gothic atmosphere, this version explores the intersection of queerness and the spectres of societal hate. We are particularly looking for actors from the LGBTQIA+ community (and allies) who are comfortable with physical theater, stylised movement, and deep emotional performance.
Commitment to safety: This production includes sensitive themes of homophobia and stylised violence. We are working with an Intimacy Coordinator to ensure all performers are supported in a professional, consent-based environment.
