Chinai Routté on POTUS at Everyman Theatre: Comedy, Power, and Acting Insights

In this episode of The Truth in This Art, I sit down with Chinai Routte, an accomplished actor with performances spanning off-Broadway, regional theater, and film. Chinai is currently playing Margaret in Everyman Theatre’s production of POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive By Selina Fillinger, Directed by Laura Kepley. 

We explore the sharp political satire of the play, which dives into themes like gender equality and the pressures women face in leadership roles. Chinai shares her journey in the theater world and gives insights into her portrayal of Margaret, a First Lady balancing strength and vulnerability amidst political chaos. This episode highlights the humor and relevance of the production, especially in today's political climate.

POTUS runs at Everyman Theatre until September 29th, 2024. Don't miss your chance to catch this incredible show! For tickets and more information, visit Everyman Theatre's website.
