An Accidental Organist

A one-man workplace confessional exploring 25+ years of sometimes hilarious, sometimes poignant interactions with the congregation.

David Boyle's An Accidental Organist debuted in Chicago in 2010 and has since been performed at the Elgin, Minnesota, Indianapolis and St. Louis Fringe Festivals.

At turns hilarious, thought-provoking and touching, he is a wonderful storyteller who showed his mettle even before he got into the meat of the show... The audience hung on every word..."--Pioneer Press, Minneapolis

"Hitting his pace like the writer of book you just can't put down, Boyle crafts his stories from vivid, sensory observations of the details that make an ordinary experience memorable. Boyle's tales reveal a well-developed discipline of structure that would hold up to even the driest analysis. Though to an audience, they just seem fascinating."
The Elgin Review

"I was raised Catholic so the stories and songs from the Catholic tradition felt familiar to me, but whatever your tradition, these well-told stories will move you, tickle your funny bone, and make you wonder at the accidentals of this thing called life."

"The piece as a whole is a well-wrought mix of wit, cussedness, close observation and earned emotion."--Chicago Reader
