Welcome back Stage Drama and Satire fans!
We are pleased to include our nearly 90 minute interview with the creator and director of RIGHT ON TARGET, an exciting new stage satire production that will soon grace the streets of the Fringe Festival in New York City to bring laughter and mirth to offset the relentless political atmosphere here in the United States in preparation for the Presidential elections now looming a mere 100 days in the future.
Written by talented playwright Gary Morgenstein of Mad Mel and the Marradians, RIGHT ON TARGET is a most timely offering as the fate of the United States teeters in an election year! RIGHT ON TARGET helps everyone be reminded that satire has long been integral and critical component to survive the often gritty world of politics.
As far back as one can remember in any culture across our small planet called Earth, cartoons and political humor in the form of satire have sustained individuals seeking to balance the seriousness of the situations with a hearty belly laugh (sarcastically) about true life circumstances. People need to laugh instead of cry when considering the machinations of political rivalries and the choices made in life.
Enjoyment of political satire are the heartfelt wishes of people whom take the time to look at the lighter side of political interactions by poking fun at our leaders, friends, significant others, and even career associates. Now if our “leaders” in the United States would simply take the time to do more than “get wrapped around the axle” and hurl insults at each, think how much better off we would all be?
A good example is typified in the United Kingdom during the weekly “Prime Minister’s Questions” when levity is mixed with serious business of the United Kingdom, often to the sound of muffled laughter with hearty “Hrrumph’s” echoing throughout the chambers of Parliament!
In RIGHT ON TARGET, the tone is precisely that; satire and humor with a good old fashioned harpooning of the right left and center of American politics, and by that we mean United States political theatre!
Opening soon in New York City at the Fringe Festival in August (see details below), we include the complete press release about this outstanding production for your pleasure!
