TRUMP IN SPACE Returns for Extended Run at Second City Hollywood

Trump in Space, winner of the 2017 Hollywood Fringe Festival Encore! Producer's Award, is set to return for a run of Friday nights from January 12 through April 27, 2018 at The Second City Hollywood Studio Theatre. 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! Running time is one hour.

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