Ball State University College of Fine Arts

• Daniel Alexander Jones exemplifies the artist-as-energy worker. His wildflower body of original work includes plays, performance pieces, recorded music, concerts, music theatre events, essays, and long-form improvisations. He explores the esoteric and the everyday through his own distinctive dramaturgy. Jones “creates multi-dimensional experiences where bodies, minds, emotions, voices, and spirits conjoin, shimmer, and heal" (The Herb Alpert Foundation).

Strother Theatre

February 21-22, 25-27 at 7:30 p.m.

February 22-23 at 2:30 p.m.

A raunchy, no-holds-barred satire, POTUS: or, Behind Every Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive follows seven brilliant but tired women risking their lives and liberties to save the President from a four-letter scandal rocking an alternative-reality White House. Fast-paced, chaotic and funny, POTUS is a clever ensemble comedy that takes a hard look at the politics of the patriarchy and critiques the roles of empathy, ambition, and the pursuit of power in a deeply divided America.

This play is FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY.

“POTUS” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
