Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love, have been at war since time immemorial. When a young girl named Hillary Rodham devotes herself to Athena alone-spurning romance, makeup, and attractive hairstyles-Aphrodite takes revenge by having her fall in love with a man of mythical charm and appetites: Bill Clinton.

The set design is by Lauren Helpern, the costume design by Amelia Dombrowski, the lighting design by Graham Kindred, the prop design by Eugenia Furneaux-Arends, and the sound design by Jill BC du Boff and Joshua Higgason. The production stage manager is Ryan Raduechel.
