Season 15 Announcement
Shannon Flaherty
November 1, 2023
It's a little hard to believe that Goat in the Road has been around for 15 years. We started with a small crew of four artists and a barebones grant for the Play/Write program. But, with your help, our award-winning educational work is now operating in 11 schools, reaches nearly 500 students each year, and has served thousands of families in the New Orleans area. Meanwhile, we've produced over 20 original, ensemble-based shows in partnership with community organizations. Thank you for supporting us as we've figured this out bit by bit, grown in spirit, and worked to be useful to our wonderful community.
This season includes a dynamic and eclectic mix of new work and educational programming. We're thrilled to be working with two remarkable artists in the city -- Katya Chizayeva and Dr. Denise Frazier -- on two very different projects; Untitled Ukraine Project (premiering in March at the Contemporary Arts Center) and Carlota (work-in-process showing in May).
You'll also see that we're doing a different kind of storytelling this year with our Walter Anderson Museum Audio Guide, creating a unique audio experience for museum patrons. And of course, we are bringing you our Play/Write Showcases (April and May 2024), and our touring Goat in the Schools program.
