Donald Drumpf Theatre Volume 140 Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows (Audio)

Sep 19, 2019
Produced by Tom Roe.
Donald Drumpf Theatre: Vol. 140 Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows. This week, our hero sees stars. With songs this week from Lesley Gore ("Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows"), Big Audio Dynamite ("The Bottom Line"), Nicholas Britell ("Succession" variations), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Sarah Sanders; Rudy Giuliani; Lou Dobbs; Jimmy Kimmel; Stephen Colbert; Seth Meyers; Chris Hayes; Don Lemon; Gregory Cheadle; and Chuck Todd. "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.
