"Trump's Island" is made possible by A Tidy Splash of Wallace, the repository of unchecked urges by "comique vivant" Brian Wallace, who only ever learned enough French to make words up. A stage actor and scribbler, Wallace has appeared at several LORT houses in NYC and regionally, and has been a familiar face when certain Tony and Pulitzer nominees/winners want to develop new work. He also writes and performs sketch comedy, which is apparently the law in blindingly beige Los Angeles, where he has lived since 2015.
