The 28-year-old wrote the new Broadway play 'POTUS,' which is up for two supporting actress nominations.

The play, a farce, is set within a fictional White House as the female characters work in support of the male head of state. The idea for “POTUS” began percolating for Fillinger shortly before Donald Trump’s election.

“It was a long runway and then when it hit, it hit fast,” says Fillinger of bringing the play to Broadway audiences. “We were all excited about the idea of something that was truly an intergenerational dialogue between women and a merging of genres.”
