Donald Drumpf Theatre Volume 144 High Crimes and Misdemeanors (Audio)

Oct 17, 2019
Produced by Tom Roe.
Donald Drumpf Theatre Volume 144 High Crimes and Misdemeanors. This week, our hero hears his friends singing, or being indicted.

Songs from The Castaways ("Liar, Liar"), The Good Fight ("Animated Guide To Impeachment"), The Late Show ("The Wheels on the Bus"); The Clash ("Rudie Can't Fail"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Rod Serling; Rudy Giuliani; John Oliver; Jimmy Kimmel; Seth Meyers; Jeanine Pirro; Ari Melber; Stephen Colbert; Nicolle Wallace; Fredo Corleone; Anderson Cooper; Craig Melvin; Mike Pence; Brian Williams; Philip Rucker; and Frank Figliuzzi. 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 15 episodes, but there are threats of cancellation. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.
