Donald Drumpf Theatre: Vol. 98 Back In The USSR (Audio)

Nov 29, 2018
Interviewed by Tom Roe.
Donald Drumpf Theatre: Vol. 98. Back In the USSR Again. This week, our hero returns. Songs this week from Dean Martin ("Pardon"), The Avett Brothers ("Please Pardon Yourself"), Lynn Anderson ("Rose Garden"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Sarah Sanders; Rudy Giuliani; Stephen Colbert; Jimmy Kimmel; Sarah Silverman; Hallie Jackson; Don Lemon; Nicolle Wallace; Willie Geist; Ari Melber; George Stephanopoulos; Paul Manafort; Norah O'Donnell; Chuck Todd; Roger Stone; Julian Assange; Chris Jansing; Frank Figliuzzi; and Rachel Maddow. "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.
