Bread and Water Theatre will host a reading by J. R. Teeter of Mike Daisey's The Trump Card.

Author and monologist Mike Daisey takes on the reigning world heavyweight of self-mythologizing, the short fingered vulgarian who captured the nation's heart through bullying, charm, one-syllable explosions, and occasionally telling the brutal truth: Donald J. Trump. Daisey tells Trump's story from his earliest days, tracking him as he makes himself into a new American archetype as the first rich man famous exclusively for being rich. Instead of dismissing Trump as a simple con artist and huckster, Daisey breaks down what makes Trump Tick and in doing so illuminates the state of our American Dream and how we've sold out.
