Donald Drumpf Theatre Volume 70 No One Tells The President What To Do (Audio)

May 17, 2018
Produced by Tom Roe.
Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 70 No One Tells The President What to Do. Songs and skits this week from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen ("No One Tells The President What To Do"), The Bobby Fuller Four ("I Fought the Law"), Sonic Youth ("Leaky Lifeboat"), The West Side Story Soundtrack ("Cool"), Late Night with Seth Meyers ("White House Press Briefing"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Jimmy Kimmel; Lester Holt; John Oliver; Wolf Blitzer; Stephen Colbert; Seth Meyers; Steve Schmidt; Morrie Kesseler from "Goodfellas;" Mike Logan ("Law & Order: Criminal Intent"); Brian Williams; and Trevor Noah. "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.
