<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:105%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">An American, an Englishman, and a Russian walk into…hey, stop me if
you’ve heard this one. Coming to Catskill November 14-24, 2024, the closing
production in Bridge Street Theatre’s 10th Anniversary Season – Scott Carter’s outrageous
comedy “The Gospel According to Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens, and Count
Leo Tolstoy: Discord”.<br>
<br>
Sparks fly when all three of these old dead white guys find themselves trapped together
in Purgatory until they’re able to crank out (if they can) an acceptable new
translation of the Four Gospels. It’s Monty Python meets Jean Paul Sartre in
this hilarious intellectual slugfest from the pen of the former executive
producer of “Real Time with Bill Maher”. Featured in the cast are Brian Linden
(Thomas Jefferson), Jason Guy (Charles Dickens), and Zach Curtis (Leo Tolstoy).
Carmen Borgia directs and designs the sets and sound, with lighting design by
Eric Leary, and costumes by Michelle Rogers. Production Stage Manager is
Hannarose Manning.<br>
<br>
“Discord” will be presented on Bridge Street Theatre’s “Priscilla” Mainstage for
eight performances only – Thursdays-Saturdays at 7:30pm, and Sundays at 2:00pm
from November 14 – November 24. The theatre is located at 44 West Bridge Street
in the Village of Catskill, NY, just steps from the town’s historic Main
Street. For more details and to purchase advance tickets, visit <a href="http://bridgest.org/discord/">bridgest.org/discord/</a>.
Tickets will also be sold at the door 30-minutes prior to each performance on a
space available basis. <br>
<br>
Want a little food for thought along with your laughs? We’ve got ya covered. Come
spend a little time in Purgatory with Jefferson, Dickens, and Tolstoy and find
out whether or not they can manage to agree long enough to escape to either
Heaven – or Hell!<br>
