The Pumpkin Pie Show: Stump Speeches to play UNDER St. Marks

Writer/performer Clay McLeod Chapman believes in America. What it once was. What it can be again. And to make our nation great, everybody's got to make sacrifices. Ancient sacrifices. In honor of the election year, the 19th season of The Pumpkin Pie Show praises politics with ballot-shredding tales of witch-hunting in the White House, interdimensional orgies in the Lincoln bedroom, draw-and-quartering Occupy protestors, and good ol' fashioned mudslinging.

The Pumpkin Pie Show: Stump Speeches will be performed by Clay McLeod Chapman (Commencement and Hostage Song; The Boy at SXSW 2015;The Tribe Trilogy with Disney; The Amazing Spider-Man with Marvel Comics), Hanna Cheek (Mac Rogers' Universal Robots and Sovereign; Waterwell; Time Out NY's Future Legends of New York Theater), Susan Ferrara (Johnna Adams' Sans Merci; The Wonder, 2014 United Solo Festival), Abe Goldfarb (Bunnicula: A Rabbit Tale of Mystery at DR2 Theater; Kill Shakespeare with Gideon Productions), Katie Hartman (Skinny Bitch Jesus Meeting;Made to Order), Brian Silliman (General Butler in Butler at the Majestic Theater; NYIT Outstanding Actor nominee for Dark Water), and Kristen Vaughan(Mac Rogers' Advance Man and Blast Radius; NYIT Outstanding Actress Award for Benefactors with Retro Productions).
