#CoHoSummerfest Week 1
Mad & A Goat
June 15 – 18
Student Loan Debt. Goat Farm Cult. Beer & Biscuits.
MAD & A GOAT is a two-women show about one woman who, to free herself from college debt, joins a Wyoming goat farm she inherits from her occult-leader birth parents. There is seduction. There is beer. There are biscuits. And let’s not forget about the goats.
“brutally funny… commanding, utterly in-sync performances…told in equal parts narration and movement…Exciting and raw…” – Santa Barbara Independent
