NEW YORK - Nyenta -- New York, NY -- Melanie Maria Goodreaux's new play "RITA IS THE GOAT" will premiere at Theater for the New City in New York, NY. Following the success of her previous productions, "ENOUGH VO5 FOR THE UNIVERSE" and "THE WHITE BLACKS," playwright and director Melanie Maria Goodreaux is ready to captivate audiences once again with "RITA IS THE GOAT." This limited engagement will run for 12 performances from November 7th to 10th, 14th to 17th, and 21st to 24th.
"RITA IS THE GOAT" is written in a magical realist style, exploring themes of loss, survival, and identity. The play delves into the complexity of motherhood and its impact on gender, as well as the challenging relationships between sisters, mothers, and daughters. "RITA" explores societal expectations for women, particularly mothers, and the challenges they face in navigating societal pressures and personal choices. The play intertwines sexuality with religiosity, using symbols like the goat to convey both biblical and symbolic meanings. Its central theme delves into the loneliness that arises when individuals are pushed to their limits due to misunderstanding or blame.
