\nWinner of the 2002 Tony and Drama Desk awards, The Goat or Who is Sylvia? is a dark comedy that focuses on the limits of an ostensibly liberal society. In a play featuring a family in crisis, playwright Edward Albee challenges audience members to question their own morality in the face of social taboos. New York Times critic Ben Brantley noted, \u201cFour decades after Virginia Woolf\u2019 sent shock waves through the mainstream theater, Mr. Albee still asks questions that no other major American dramatist dares to ask.\u201d Recommended for mature adults only. General admission, $12; Faculty\/staff and senior citizens (with ID), $10; Students (with
\nID), $7. For information or ticket reservations, please call 570-422-3483, ext. 4 or email esuarts@esu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n
