To officially open NSC's new home on Main St., NSC is honored to present the regional premiere of one of the most controversial and acclaimed plays of the new millennium, the modern masterwork of legendary playwright Edward Albee (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Three Tall Women, A Delicate Balance) and the 2002 Tony Award-winning Best Play, THE GOAT or Who is Sylvia? This bold drama concerns a seemingly perfect, happy and wealthy family that is shattered by the news that the husband, a staggeringly successful architect, has fallen in love with a goat. Directed by NSC Producing Artistic Director Alan Patrick Kenny, THE GOAT 's themes of hidden desire, obsessive love, and repressed sexuality are challengingly dealt with in a major work that confronts the limits of our own tolerance in a way that is outrageously funny yet profoundly unsettling.

"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

"…as challenging—and…as outrageously funny—as theater gets."
