2022 The President of Ohio

The Tank, New York City

The President of Ohio, by Philip J Kaplan, is a post-apocalyptic farce about family life in the year 2070. Everything depends on tonight’s dinner, where the President of Ohio will be the guest. But the cook just died, war with Kentucky is imminent, the homeowners association wants more barbed wire, and a Girl Scout assassin is waiting. Can Brenda’s family survive the night? This reading features Belle Caplis, John Dimino, Jamahl Garrison-Lowe, Meghan Jones, and Amy Stiller
