    Actors Theatre proudly closes our season with this witty, provocative and groundbreaking parable of love and all its absurd, bewildering, and shattering possibilities. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play in 2002, The Goat, is puzzling, powerful, disturbing, and deeply weird. Just as Albee did in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, he has turned his attention to what looks like a conventional upper-middle class marriage only to discover all sorts of unconventional feelings and ideas percolating beneath the surface. His hellishly funny, yet deeply poignant vision of a rock solid family unit shattering to bits cuts to the devastating truth that things happen in our lives that can be neither comprehended nor controlled, neither atoned for nor undone. Please note this play contains mature themes and adult language. Credits: By Edward Albee.

        “The Goat or, Who is Sylvia?” written by renowned American playwright Edward Albee and produced by actorstheatre at the Herberger Theater Center is not for the faint of heart. Playgoers who found “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” jarring and unsettling had better gird their loins for “The Goat.” This play doesn’t push the envelope. It slices, dices and decimates it. Which is to say it is one of the edgiest, best and most compelling plays to grace Valley stages since actorstheatre’s Producing Artistic Director Matthew Wiener gave us “Angels in America” in its entirety. Albee’s script, which explores the outer edges of societal boundaries and what happens when those boundaries are crossed, is explosive. His use of humor while exploring the darkest of subjects saves the audience from total despair and exhaustion. The writing is brilliant, Albee at his septuagenarian best. Marshall W. Mason’s direction is superb, as is the acting by Steven Akley, Harold Dixon, Karen Gregan and Randy Noojin. The show runs through May 14. Tickets are available through the Herberger Box Office, 602-252-8497. Collapse
