The Ronald And Other Plays

By Chris Orcutt

The Ronald And Other Plays features a full-length political satire and five one-acts.

The Ronald: "Fabulously Caucasian" billionaire The Ronald decides to run for President of the Incorporated States of Freedomland. Aiding him in his quest are his sexy genius daughter, his accountant, a conservative professor, a Broadway producer, his idiot sons, a TV entertainment reporter, a pizza deliveryboy, and the Cork Brothers-a pair of 1,000-year-old vampires. The play gives a behind-the-scenes look into a narcissistic's Presidential campaign, from the decision to run, to the election, to the day before he assumes the Presidency.

The Clean-Shaven Secretary with the Pistol: What happens when a theatre company attempts to stage a short period drama, and the producers decide, without warning, to insert a commercial break?

Dark and Stormy Night: An autumn night, a desolate diner, and a lonely, beautiful waitress. Enter a man dressed like an L.L. Bean model and carrying a splitting maul. Is he a murderer or her romantic salvation?

Front Page Above the Fold: At a local city daily newspaper, competition between reporters for the front page story is fierce. So fierce, it's personal.

Microbrew: Two 20-something slackers live above grandma June, but they aren't getting anything past her. What she isn't prepared for, however, is her grandson's bewitching homemade beer.

Kansas City This is Former Air Force One: August 9, 1974-the day President Richard Nixon resigned his office. Oh, to be a fly on the wall during his flight home But wait...in this play, you are.
