About the Show

Presented by Chookas Entertainment & Insight Acting Winner of the 2002 Tony Award for Best Play, The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? is a provocative and startling black comedy that questions the boundaries of love and the limits of desire. Martin is a 50-year old, award-winning architect chosen to design a 27 billion dollar dream city in the American Midwest. He and his wife Stevie and their 17 year-old son live in their art-filled uptown apartment. They’re at the top of the heap. But when Martin confides to his best friend that he is in love with Sylvia, he sets in motion events that threaten to destroy his family, his career and leave his life in tatters. So who is Sylvia? “THE GOAT is about a profoundly unsettling subject, which for the record is not bestiality but the irrational, confounding, and convention-thwarting nature of love. Powerful [and] extraordinary…Mr. Albee still asks questions that no other major American dramatist dares to ask.” — The New York Times.
