Donald Drumpf Theatre: Vol. 34 They're Coming to Take Me Away. This week, the rapture begins for some as certain folks are rounded up. Songs and skits from The Wellingtons ("The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle,"); Napoleon XIV ("They're Coming to Take Me Away"); Crowded House ("Don't Dream It's Over"); R.B. Greaves ("Take A Letter Maria"); Neil Young ("Sell Out"); and Brian Dewan ("The Civil War"). Excerpts and clips from Sarah Huckabee Sanders; Anthony Atamanuik, Peter Grosz, and Nina Turner from "The President Show;" Ali Velshi; Seth Meyers from "Late Night;" Ed Lavandera; Stephen Colbert from "The Late Show;" Lawrence O'Donnell; Trevor Noah from "The Daily Show;" Peter D. Hart; Chuck Todd; Brian Ross; Katy Tur; Michael Che and Alec Baldwin from "Saturday Night Live;" Ari Melber; Craig Melvin; Charlie Brown and teacher from "Peanuts;" Jim Bakker; and Roger Stone. 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, the network has ordered another 15 episodes, but there are threats of cancellation. Anyone who would like to contribute to the show, should contact info@wgxc.org.
