Spark Hilarity
Directed by Susan Clement
Assistant Director: Tatiana Sandoval
When the President unwittingly spins a sexist PR nightmare into a global crisis, seven brilliant and beleaguered women must risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to save the world. This riotously funny feminist farce is an irreverent look at sex and politics through the eyes of the women in charge of the man in charge of the free world.
