Rapid Response Team

Pumpkin Pie Show auteur Clay McLeod Chapman, award winning playwrights Rob Grace and Brian PJ Cronin and critically acclaimed director Isaac Butler team up with 8 of their favorite young up-and-coming theater artists to form the Rapid Response Team. The RRT creates theater in response to this week’s news-often in just 72 hours.

Think of it as the stage version of That Was the Week That Was, or the bastard child of The Daily Show; or a 24 hour play festival and a shack full of trucker speed. No topic will be left untouched, be it Bush’s National Guard Service, the second coming of Christ, or Thursday’s nude protest by porn stars outside a Roman Catholic Church in Manila.
