About this event
Fat Knight Theatre’s production of “ChipandGus” comes to Catskill’s Bridge Street Theatre at 44 West Bridge Street for eight performances September 26 – October 6. Gus is chair of the Philosophy department at a middling liberal arts college who lives almost entirely inside his own estimable brain but who can barely deal with his suppressed emotions and deep secrets. Chip is a frustrated adjunct music teacher and struggling composer who’s got big hopes – but he’s never had a dream yet that didn’t get crushed. Playwright/Performers John Ahlin and Christopher Patrick Mullen balance a furiously fast pace, a delicately slow reveal, blisteringly brilliant comedy, and unbelievable ping-pong action as these two sad sacks, the most casual of acquaintances, discover that their lives intertwine in ways they could not possibly have imagined. Swap out the ping pong paddles for bowler hats and it could pass for a modern-day homage to “Waiting for Godot” – a hilarious, cathartic, and emotionally resonant buddy comedy for thinking audiences.
