TRUMP IN SPACE Announces Final Extension

Trump in Space, winner of the 2017 Hollywood Fringe Festival Encore! Producer's Award, has announced the final extension of its run of Friday nights at The Second City Hollywood Studio Theatre. The engagement must end August 16.

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! The book and lyrics are by Gillian Bellinger and Landon Kirksey with music by Tony Gonzalez and Sam Johnides. The show is directed by Frank Caeti.

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.
