The World Premiere of The Goatwoman of Corvis County is now in previews—it opens this Friday in the brand-new Elayne P. Bernstein Theatre.
The play features Keira Naughton as Charlotte Clarke, the so-called “Goatwoman of Corvis County” because of her uncanny ability to heal goats, who finds herself in a bit of legal trouble, but gets little help from her rough-hewn fifth husband Randy (Thomas Kee) or her troubled teenage son (David Rosenblatt). Daniel Berger-Jones completes the cast as the youthful lawyer who tries to help. It’s a dark and comical look at the breakdown of communication in a dysfunctional American family—and the secrets that, left unspoken, threaten to keep them apart.
The Goatwoman of Corvis County is written by Christine Whitley and directed by Robert Walsh, with lights by Matthew Miller, set design by Susan Zeeman Rogers, costumes by Govane Lohbauer and a sound design with original music by Bill Barclay.
Joe and David of WAMC’s Roundtable welcomed artistic director Tina Packer and associate artistic director Michael Hammond yesterday to discuss the upcoming season: how the plays are chosen, how Tina manages it all, and where Michael Hammond gets his hair cut.

The show featured performances from Shakespeare & Company members, including scenes from the upcoming Goatwoman of Corvis County and Bad Dates. And Albany band Citizen Genet rocked the house with their rendition of “Willow” from Othello. Check out their performance in the video below.
