As part of SoloFest 2026, Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill presents “Herkimer! How My Ignorant Immigrant Ancestors Saved America and You Can Too,” a funny, moving, and deeply personal solo performance by award-winning writer/performer Ned Averill-Snell. Blending family history, Upstate New York Revolutionary War storytelling, and contemporary reflection, the piece explores a little-known local battle that helped change the course of American history. Through humor, insight, and personal connection, Averill-Snell examines identity, heritage, resilience, and the surprising ways the past continues to shape the present — while asking what these stories might reveal about America today. Directed by Timothy Dunn, this engaging and thoughtful work is both entertaining and meaningful.


March 13–15: Fri & Sat 7pm, Sun 2pm.
Tickets $30 adults / $25 students.
