Donald Drumpf Theatre Volume 163 Sickness (Audio)

Feb 27, 2020
Produced by Tom Roe.
Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 163 Sickness. This week our hero has a virus.

Thanks this week for the songs from Randy Rainbow ("No Rules for Donald"), The Beach Boys ("Vegetables'"), Leonard Cohen ("Democracy"), Joy Division ("Transmission"), The Donner Party ("Sickness"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Rod Serling; Rudy Giuliani; Richard Nixon; Jimmy Kimmel; Jake Tapper; Seth Meyers; John Oliver; Stephen Colbert; Nicolle Wallace; Brooke Baldwin; and "The Late Show." An original radio theatre show each week, with most sounds culled from the previous week, about a fictional, theatrical presidency. Contradictions tell the story, with songs, skits, and clips from political news shows and late-night comedy routines. The definition of "radio theatre" is stretched here, with an updated Dickie Goodman and/or Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style sometimes, and a more straightforward take other weeks. Currently airing on 30 or 40 stations around the world, the network has ordered another 11 months of episodes. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.
