Donald Drumpf Theatre: Vol. 85 Orange Crush. This week, our hero is a mime, with walls closing in. Songs and skits this week from Peter Serafinowicz ("Sassy Speakerphone"), R.E.M. ("Orange Crush"), Randy Rainbow ("If You Ever Got Impeached"), Christmas ("Richard Nixon"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Sarah Sanders; Rudy Giuliani; "Our Cartoon President;" Bill Maher; Brian Williams; Chris Cuomo; and Jimmy Conway and Henry Hill from "Goodfellas;" Frank Costello and Billy Costigan from "The Departed;" Nicolle Wallace; Carl Bernstein; Sean Hannity; Richard Nixon; David Niven; H.R. Haldeman; John Dean; and John Ehrlichman. "Donald Drumpf Theatre" is an original radio theatre show about a fictional, theatrical presidency, with most sounds culled from the previous week. 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. The network has currently ordered another 15 episodes, but there are threats of cancellation. Anyone who would like to contribute to the show should contact info@wgxc.org.
