a game! It's a play! It's an experiment in truly connecting with the audience,
testing the limits of intimacy and the roots of performance. And Carl Holder’s remarkable
new solo show “Out Of Order” is coming to Catskill’s Bridge Street Theatre for
eight performances only August 29 – September 8.<br>
<br>
Originally conceived to be performed in people’s living rooms, “Out Of Order”
is an up-close and personal experience unlike any you've ever had in a theatre before
– one that’ll leave you stunned, moved, and on the verge of tears when you
aren’t laughing your ass off. 50 index cards with written instructions on them are
placed in a bin. Some contain characters, stories, confessions; others prompt group
activities involving the audience. At each performance, Carl selects one card
at a time and performs the instructions written on it in whatever order the
universe dictates. So no two performances are ever quite the same. And true to
the play's initial creative impulse, Bridge Street Theatre will be presenting “Out
Of Order” in the cozy confines of its Speakeasy lobby space, with couches and
chairs scattered about and Carl performing in and around the audience. PLEASE
BE ADVISED: due to the intimate nature of the piece (and the venue itself),
audience members will end up in close proximity both to the performer and to
their inner selves. Prepare accordingly.<br>
<br>
“Out Of Order” will be performed Thursdays – Sundays from August 29 – September
8, 2024. Thursday – Saturday performances begin at 7:30pm, Sunday performances at
2:00pm. Seating is limited and all seats are unreserved. Bridge Street Theatre
is located at 44 West Bridge Street in Catskill, NY. For more details and to

You’re smart. You go to the theater. But when was the last time you were just
present? Can you even remember simpler days? Who did you think you could be
once? Come over and play with your friend Carl. It won’t hurt! You’ve never
experienced anything like this before. Come prepared to laugh, cry, and have
the way you see the world changed forever.<br>
