PUMPKIN PIE SHOW Extends at FRIGID

FRIGID New York @ Horse Trade presents Pumpkin Pie Show: One-on-Ones where one audience member get the chance to journey with Clay on a dark ride. Pumpkin Pie Show: One-on-Ones will be on Sundays, through October 28th at UNDER St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place). (Tickets $15 each, very limited seating), may be purchased in advance at www.FRIGIDnewyork.info.

For over 20 years, Clay McLeod Chapman's rigorous storytelling session The Pumpkin Pie Show has delved deep into the depraved minds of those who drift along the periphery of humankind. For his new show, One-On-Ones, Chapman will take one audience member at a time on a dark ride through the domestic horrors of the everyday, finding terror within our own households. Sometimes darkly humorous, sometimes strangely heartbreaking, this intimate storytelling experience is Edgar Allan Poe for the modern age; a heart-to-bleeding-heart with a motley crew of madmen, murderers and monsters all dying to tell their story. No fourth wall, no escape.

"The Pumpkin Pie Show: One-on-Ones proved to be a stunningly personal experience... It is completely immersive thanks to [Chapman's] brilliant storytelling skills. Armed with a variety of his own dark writings that bring to mind the classic tales of Edgar Allan Poe, Chapman transforms before participants' eyes through his acting abilities alone, delivering a performance that's impossible not to become entranced by." - Inside the Magic (2018)
