THE PUMPKIN PIE SHOW: LOVEY DOVEY

Horse Trade Theater Group will once again present their annual October tradition, the critical acclaimed, New York Innovative Theatre Award nominated, Pumpkin Pie Show! Featuring all new stories written by Clay McLeod Chapman (Hostage Song at The Kraine; Fear Mongers at Dixon Place), performed by Clay and Hanna Cheek (Hostage Song; Goodbar with Waterwell) with original music by Kyle Jarrow (Obie Award for A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant; music & lyrics for Hostage Song) performed by new husband and wife duo, Sky-Pony!

This year, The Pumpkin Pie Show is all about the love. We will be sharing tales of romance—some true, others ripped from the hearts (and headlines) of others.
