a play in two acts

Some women will do anything for a green card. Dick Ross, a mid-level bureaucrat at the State Department, knows that all too well. Frustrated by his thankless job and a marriage on the rocks, he tells a beautiful young woman he is the Assistant Secretary of State and can get her a green card. Then he tells another. Then another.

When the three women show up at his office on the same night to cash in on his promise, Dick has more than his hands full... and then a fourth woman arrives, with an entirely different plan in store for him.

Foggy Bottom takes the classic sex farce and gives it a new political spin. Immigration, human rights, and the War on Terror have never been funnier, but the audience is forced to think while they laugh, as the situation at the State Department becomes ever more dire.
