An imminent civil war, the threat of an African invasion, an adulterous First Gentleman, and zombies in the basement of the White House! With his power, his marriage, and the nation’s well-being at stake, he must decide what he cares most about saving … and at what cost.”
Chalk this up to another example of the government being horrible stewards of our funds and careless about the care our vets receive.
Here’s a little clip of the play:
