Here’s the story of “Sputnik Manitowoc”…
In 1962, 13 pounds of Sputnik fell on 8th Street in Manitowoc. That fact is true, but we’re here to share a made-up story about espionage and intrigue. As a JFK doppelgänger, the Mayor of Manitowoc, DFK, and his Marilyn Monroeish secretary try to convince Russian proteges Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale that Manitowoc should keep the space gem. It is Boris and Natasha’s hope that they can come to a peaceful negotiation for the return of Sputnik 4 without any funny business — good luck with that, especially with officers Toody and Muldoon in charge of the exchange. The music of the early 1960s was out of this world, and the Cold War was too.
Cast: Frank Hermans (DFK John Kenndy, Mayor of Manitowoc), Pat Hibbard (Boris Badenov), Amy Riemer (Natasha Fatale), Lisa Borley (Marilyn Monroeish), Tom Verbrick (Car 54 Toody policeman), Paul Evansen (Car 54 Muldoon policeman)
