“Archie Parish’s Parting Words”
As part of SoloFest 2026, Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill presents “Archie Parish’s Parting Words,” written and performed by Academy Award–winning author Ernest Thompson (“On Golden Pond”). This deeply personal solo performance blurs the lines between eulogy and confession, comedy and heartbreak, as Archie Parish — a reluctant, irreverent eulogist — reflects on the lives of the flawed and the forgotten. Through a series of raw and often humorous memorials, the piece explores memory, forgiveness, and the universal longing to find meaning in the time we’re given. With warmth, wit, and emotional honesty, Thompson invites audiences to embrace vulnerability, connection, and the courage to live fully while the music lasts.
March 20–22: Fri & Sat 7pm, Sun 2pm.
Tickets $30 adults / $25 students.
