PRESIDENTIAL PRODUCTIONS

Four hollywood-screen writers are locked in a room. Their mission: craft the most realistic and philosophical script about first contact with an alien race. But the writers can't agree on anything! Can the planet survive, or will earth cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war? Welcome to THE WAR ROOM.

Play runs for approximately 45 minutes. It's a little bit drama, lots of popular culture references, a sprinkling of philosophy while still being light-hearted and funny. No experience necessary, only three shows. The Writer/Director has produced five amateur plays before in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and at Perth Fringe in 2016.

- Pay is $100 per performance, for three performances. 
- Dates are set for 20,21,22 of January in 2017.
