And on behalf of everyone at The Royal Underground Theatre Company, thank you to every audience member who came out, laughed with us, cheered us on, and got just a little bit c*nty with us.

You made this run what it was, and we are so grateful.

Thank you for showing up for live theatre, for this cast, and for this gloriously chaotic play.

Sure, the critics enjoyed POTUS. But our audiences? They LOVED IT!

“One of the best theater outings I have EVER had! Fabulous play, cast and company. I’ve urged many friends to go see this play. I hope to see it myself a second time. THANK YOU!”
— Misha Norton, audience member

Thank YOU, Misha! When audiences leave wanting to come back AND send their friends, that’s our kind of endorsement.

Grab your people and come see what all the laughter is about. POTUS runs through September 26 at Live Oak Theater in Berkeley!

“POTUS” brings the laughs to Berkeley and this ensemble delivers 🤩

Director Anna Oglesby-Smith keeps the pace razor-tight in Royal Underground Theatre Company’s satirical romp through the West Wing. Standout turns from Jules Weiss (a scene-stealing Stephanie) and Hannah Martínez-Crow (Dusty) anchor the chaos, while Michele Rabkin and Asoula “Jasmine” Avegalio bring sharp, scene-hungry energy as Harriet and Margaret. All seven performers are excellent…a farce with real bite. - Woody Weingarten, Bay City News.

📍 Live Oak Theatre, Berkeley | Through Sept. 26

Yesterday was our fearless director Anna Oglesby-Smith’s birthday, so the POTUS cast, crew, and creative team couldn’t let rehearsal end without a little celebration.

We’re already laughing harder than we have in a long time, and this company is quickly becoming something special. If the joy in this room is any indication, you’re in for an unforgettable night at the theatre.

Happy Birthday, Anna! We can’t wait for audiences to see the hilarious world you’re bringing to life. POTUS opens September 11. Tickets are on sale now. Link in bio.

The first rehearsal is in the books, and if tonight’s table read was any indication, you’re in for one hilarious ride.

The room was filled with nonstop laughter as this incredible cast brought Selina Fillinger’s razor-sharp comedy to life for the very first time. The chemistry is undeniable, the energy is electric, and we’re only just getting started.

POTUS is officially underway, and we cannot wait to share this wild, unhinged, laugh-out-loud comedy with you.

See you at the White House… if it survives. Tickets are on sale now! Link in bio.
