Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 171 This Is Not a Test (Audio)

Apr 23, 2020
Produced by Tom Roe.
Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 171 This Is Not a Test. This week our hero is not testing you.

Thanks this week for the songs from Bikini Kill ("This Is Not a Test"), The Police ("King of Pain"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Rod Serling; Rudy Giuliani; Cartman; Richard Nixon; Jimmy Kimmel; Stephen Colbert; and "The Late Show;" J.L. Cauvin; Seth Meyers; Kellyanne Conway; Dominic Toretto; Kristen Welker; Weijia Jiang; Yamiche Alcindor; and Doctor Zaius. 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.
