COMING OCTOBER 4, 5 & 6TH - Off-Broadway!
STARRING: J-L CAUVIN, RORY SCHOLL & SAMMY "THE DEUCE”
Donald Trump won’t be defeated by investigative journalism. He won’t be beaten by incisive op-ed pieces. He won’t be stopped by scandals, exposés, progressive PACs, former prosecutors with permanent residency on MSNBC, books by disloyal former staffers, federal charges of treason, ironclad proof of electoral fraud, massive fines, and jury verdicts in civil rape trials. Even bullets are no match for the Orange One! Trump can’t even defeat himself.
How do we deal with an existential threat that becomes more serious the more seriously we treat it?
With 90 minutes of musical mockery!
Dictator for a Day is a small ensemble live musical comedy built around a dozen or so original songs in the vein of Mel Brooks’ The Producers; You’re Welcome America, starring Will Ferrell; and the songs of legendary political satirist Tom Lehrer.
Dictator for a Day is MAGA meta-humor wrapped in a modern American songbook so warped Ron DeSantis won’t know whether to hum it or ban it. And it’s all delivered in about an hour and a half with a smile by a former (if you believe the fake news) U.S. President who has mastered the fine art of demented delusional stream-of-consciousness oratory that is not in any way, shape, or form constrained by history, facts, or the laws of physics.

So sit back, relax, and prepare to laugh till exhaustion
as incredible likenesses of The Orange One and company deliver a melodic,
uniquely American story of greed, bombast, conniving, prevarication,
narcissism, paranoia, sadism, fear, hatred, small-mindedness, and yes,
even that rare and precious thing we call self-loathing.
This spectacular is destined to win a Grammy, a Tony, and an Emmy—
but it’s all rigged.
