In The Trump Card, acclaimed monologist Mike Daisey takes on the reigning world heavyweight of self-mythologizing, the short-fingered vulgarian who captured a nation’s heart through bullying, charm, one-syllable explosions and occasionally telling the brutal truth: Donald J. Trump.
Tickets are free, reservations required. The Trump Card will be followed by a discussion with the audience.
For tickets and information, visit www.guthrietheater.org or call the Box Office at 612.377.2224.
