[Capdist-announce] Carl Holder’s “Out Of Order” Comes to Catskill August 29 – September 8

[Steven Patterson]

It's 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.

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.

“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.

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.
