Step aside, Abraham (and hang on, Hagar)! God has unveiled a brand-new plan for humanity and chosen a Prophet – a newlywed teenager living in Ancient Mesopotamia. Based incredibly loosely on the Old and New Testaments, as well ancient Jewish Apocalyptic Scripture, “Alternative Canon” is the story of the biblical matriarch Sarah – given a few fabulous modern twists.

Tickets for the reading are available at the door one-half hour before curtain time with a suggested donation of $10. Bridge Street Theatre is located at 44 West Bridge Street in the Village of Catskill. Please note that proof of vaccination is required for entry and that masks must be worn while inside the theatre building.
