Carl Holder's OUT OF ORDER To Premiere At East Village Basement in June
Performances will run from June 27 to July 23.
Most Unwanted Productions will present the New York premiere of the interactive parlor game, Out of Order, written and performed by Carl Holder (Charleses at The Brick; An Intimate Evening with Typhoid Mary at New Ohio), developed with and directed by Skylar Fox (The Grown-Ups with Nightdrive; Obie Award-winner for Illusions Design on Fat Ham) at East Village Basement, June 27-July 23.
What you're about to see tonight isn't a play. Everything you're about to see is real. But don't worry-you won't regret it. Right?
Carl's written plays for 20 years, but when Carl turned 40, something strange happened-he couldn't write plays anymore. So he made this instead. It's a game. A challenge. A bowl of index cards, pulled at random, now controls his fate. Each card holds a task designed to test his grit, his ingenuity, his emotional resilience, and his willingness to be humiliated. For the past year, he's toured the country, training for this night. And if he fails to complete the challenge, he'll quit theatre forever. We're not joking.
Part play, part high-stakes game of emotional Russian Roulette, Out of Order puts Carl's fate in the hands of a giant bowl of index cards. Each one tells him-and all of us-what to do next. No performance is ever the same.
