The Trump Card

ABOUT THE PLAY: Mike Daisey takes on the reigning world heavyweight of self-mythologizing, the short-fingered vulgarian who captured a nations heart through bullying, charm, one-syllable explosions, and occasionally telling the brutal truth: Donald J. Trump. Daisey tells Trumps story from his earliest days, tracking him as he makes himself into a new American archetype the very first rich man famous exclusively for being rich. Instead of dismissing Trump as a simple con artist and huckster, Daisey breaks down what makes Trump tick and in doing so illuminates the state of our American Dream and how we've sold it out.

Production will be starring J.R. Teeter, Artistic Director of Bread & Water Theatre. Directed by Rachel Pazda.
