[Capdist-announce] “ALONE: Stories from Edgar Allan Poe” Comes to Catskill March 31-April 2

[Steven Patterson]

The horror! The horror! For almost a decade now, actor Daniel Hall Kuhn has
been touring some of the grandest theatres in the country, interpreting
“The Tell-Tale Heart” and other literary classics by Edgar Allan Poe for
enthralled audiences numbering in the hundreds (and occasionally the
thousands!). He has now assembled a full evening’s performance of some of
Poe’s greatest and most spine-tingling works, which will receive its world
premiere March 31 – April 2 in Catskill as the closing show in Bridge
Street Theatre’s 2023 “SoloFest”.

Slowly but inexorably, “ALONE: Stories from Edgar Allan Poe” lures
audiences into the uncanny and sinister literary universe created by this
master of the macabre. Inhabiting a claustrophobic and suitably gothic
onstage room, actor Kuhn casts a disquieting and mesmerizing spell,
bringing Poe’s tales to vivid and terrifying life - an effect made even
more unsettling by the intimate atmosphere of Bridge Street Theatre’s
up-close-and-personal 84-seat theatre. This masterful solo performer
doesn't simply present these stories; he takes audiences on an immersive
journey through the stories, a cathartic, emotional roller coaster ride
through the depths of our very souls, courtesy of one of America’s greatest
writers.

Daniel Hall Kuhn has performed in multiple national tours, regionally, in
summer stock, on film, and voice over projects. He first worked with John
Sowle and Steven Patterson of Bridge Street Theatre on their 2006 Centenary
Year production of Samuel Beckett’s “All That Fall”, which was presented at
the Cherry Lane Studio Theatre in New York City’s Greenwich Village. In
2021 he appeared in Bridge Street Theatre’s production of Samuel D.
Hunter’s “Lewiston”, and in 2022 was featured (as a talking dog) in their
commissioned world premiere of Brad Fraser’s “Shelley’s Shadow”. Kuhn used
the pandemic shut-down to assemble this one-man show featuring the writings
of Edgar Allan Poe, which also includes an educational, interactive version
available for classroom streaming. To learn more about Daniel and his “Poe
Show,” visit www.DanielHallKuhn.com.
