| Goat
Show, I Will Make You Orphans |
|
“Maybe
being grown up isn’t about being sure,” says playwright-actor
Jennifer Fawcett, “maybe it’s about believing in
risks, in which case it’s closer to childhood than
I thought.”
In her pseudo-autobiographical one-woman play, Goat
Show: A Legacy Behind Barn Doors, Fawcett explores
a father’s dream of a simple life and the adventures
and anxieties of a family turned upside down after
he abandons teaching to raise goats.
Her comic but heartfelt story is a reflection on
the value of taking risks and following a dream,
on the tenacity of love, and the uncertainty of
growing up.
And, in a special late-night engagement, Goat
Show director Shawn C. Lewis will perform his
“one-man hip-hopera,” I Will Make You Orphans,
after each performance of Goat Show.
Goat
Show opens at Adirondack Theatre Festival (Charles
R. Wood Theater, 207 Glen St., Glens Falls) on Tuesday
(July 7) at 8 PM. I Will Make You Orphans
opens Wednesday (July 8) at 9:45 PM. Both shows
run through July 11. Tickets for Goat Show
are $29; tickets for I Will Make You Orphans
are $15. For more info, or to purchase tickets,
call the ATF box office at 847-0800.
