ATC: POTUS (7-16 Nov 2024)

‘…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.

The results will be posted here at 18:00.

ITG: The Deadhouse (29 Oct 2026)

The ITG is hosting The Deadhouse, a professional production, for one night at the Warehouse Studio

This one-man show, by an actor with an “imposing presence” in an “engaging performance” delivered with “precision and grace”. First seen at the 2023 Dublin theatre festival and now on a European tour. This professional performance is being hosted by the Irish Theatre Group asbl.

The title may appear bleak. Yet this is a humorous and scathing piece which takes a poke at some of the misconceptions which exist between different communities.
