OUT OF ORDER

Originally conceived to be performed in people’s living rooms, Carl Holder’s remarkable solo show “Out Of Order” is an up-close and personal experience unlike any you’ve ever had in a theatre – 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 it 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 wind up in close proximity both to the performer and to their inner selves. Prepare accordingly. We guarantee you’ve never experienced anything like this one before. Come visit your new friend Carl and be prepared to laugh, cry, and have the way you see the world changed forever. Thursdays – Sundays August 29 – September 8. Bridge Street Theatre, 44 West Bridge Street, Catskill, NY. For more details and to purchase tickets, visit bridgest.org/out-of-order/
