CLAY McLEOD CHAPMAN & HANNA CHEECK


A literary fist in the face. Part spoken word, part monologue, part boxing match -- THE PUMPKIN PIE SHOW is a rigorous storytelling session packed with enough intensity to feel like a rock concert rather than a bedtime tale. New stories every night, picked at random during the show. Fair warning: We leave the fourth wall far behind...

Following his recent success with Hostage Song: the new indie-rock musical, Clay McLeod Chapman is embarking on a two-month long International Fringe Festival tour with THE PUMPKIN PIE SHOW. Starting with a preview performance on Monday, June 30th at The Kraine Theater in NYC THE PUMPKIN PIE SHOW will begin touring the CAFF circuit starting with The Winnipeg Fringe Festival.
