TRUMP IN SPACE Extended Through December at Second City

Trump in Space, winner of the 2017 Hollywood Fringe Festival Encore! Producer's Award, has announced the third extension of its run on Friday nights at The Second City Hollywood Studio Theatre. The engagement will now continue through December 14. The book and lyrics are by Gillian Bellinger and Landon Kirksey with music by Tony Gonzalez and Sam Johnides. Frank Caeti is the director.

Trump in Space is Star Trek meets Avenue Q meets Trump, a musical battle of good vs. bad and ideals vs. opportunism. This original musical is an epic space adventure filled with all the sci-fi tropes we love and all the politics we love to hate. Four hundred years in the future, the fallout of the Trump administration has left humans stranded without a planet. Captain Natasha Trump, a direct descendant of President Donald J. Trump, races to find humanity a new planet because the earth blew up! Said Shari Barrett of BroadwayWorld.com, "Laughs abound with each farcical situation based on political satire to the max - with great ensemble harmonies throughout." Trump in Space proudly occupies a spot on the StageRaw.com Top Ten.

The cast includes (in alphabetical order) Gillian Bellinger, Landon Kirksey, Mary Lou, Scott Palmason, Nicole Pellegrino, Joy Regullano, Jessie Sherman, Jim Shipley, and Rob Warner.
